We know that none of the exciting events we strive to present would be possible without the steadfast support of our patrons. Thank you so very much for your continuing generosity. Our mandate is clear…...to bring top caliber vocal expertise to our audiences. This 2016/17 season we pledge again to do our very best to fulfill it. From Opera to Broadway and from Jazz to Pop, we’ll be providing something to appeal to every musical taste. All the details for our 16th season can be found in this program and on our redesigned website www.sunvalleyopera.com. In addition to our lineup of live events, we will again be sponsoring with Metropolitan Theaters the Met HD Live opera series. You can find on our website a schedule of the performances that will be streamed from New York City via satellite to the Bigwood Theater in Hailey through May 2017. Please do accept this invitation to be there with us and enjoy the season as we will, once again, be filling our valley with song.

Our three visionary founders, Floyd McCracken, Frank Meyer and Marsha Ingham, realizing that the residents of the Wood River Valley and surrounding areas had no practical access to Opera without having to travel long distances, sought to attract the best in vocal expertise and operatic performances to Sun Valley. During the subsequent 16 years, Sun Valley Opera has grown as an organization and is now producing a Winter Festival, two benefit concerts (summer and fall) in the Sun Valley Pavilion, and “up close and personal” experiences at our renowned Diva Parties and Signature Salon Concerts. An Executive Director was hired in 2009 to help with the continued growth of our organization and to assist our Music Director and President in booking world-class talent for our events. We strive to bring to our stage exceptional artists from all over the world to participate in our summer and winter productions In 2016 we proudly created, in partnership with the Perokas Family Foundation, a four-year scholarship of $5,000 per year for a deserving student from our community beginning studies for a career in the performing arts. Our performances continue to receive outstanding reviews, and audience and donor support have grown along with us.

Her rich, warm soprano, combined with her strikingly beautiful stage presence and affecting musical and dramatic interpretation, have brought her more than a decade of successes on the world’s leading opera and concert stages, including The Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Washington National Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Carnegie Hall, London’s Royal Albert Hall, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Vienna Konzerthaus, as well as recent debuts in Paris, Warsaw, and Beijing. Her repertoire includes the beloved heroines of Puccini, Verdi, and Mozart (Mimi, Madama Butterfly, Donna Elvira, Violetta, and Micaëla among them) as well as successful forays into the crossover Broadway and jazz repertoire, most notably with award-winning and critically acclaimed performances of Julie in Show Boat, and Vi in Gershwin’s rarely- performed jazz opera Blue Monday. Alyson’s debut album, From the Diary of Sally Hemings, a song-cycle by acclaimed American composer William Bolcom, premiered at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall to rave reviews. Her following album, Until Now, was released on January of this year, with 4 crossover, pop and jazz standards. RUSALKA - SONG TO THE MOON - Dvorak BOHEME - DONDE LIETA - Puccini CARMEN - HABANERA - Bizet DEL CABELLO MAS UTIL - Obradors ZUEIGNUNG - Strauss ~ Intermission ~ CAN’T HELP LOVIN’ THAT MAN O MINE - Kern BILL - Kern BLACK COFFEE - Burke I HAD MYSELF A TUE LOVE - Arlen DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND - Styne FEVER - Davenport THE MAN I LOVE - Gershwin SEAN ROGERS has won praise and acclaim nationally and internationally for his artistic mastery at the keyboard. Sean is the Staff Accompanist at Opera Idaho. He is currently the Conductor/Musical Director for the Treasure Valley Community Symphony. He has conducted and musically directed over 90 Opera and Musical Theatre productions including the Engelbert Humperdinck opera “Hansel and Gretel” for Opera Idaho. Sean tours extensively as a collaborative pianist. He was previously the Interim Director of Choral Activities for three years at the College of Idaho where he has a degree in Piano Performance, Organ Performance, Sacred Music, and Religion. He has 4 arrangements published through SONOLOGY Music. As a concert artist, his solo career has taken him throughout most of the United States as well as concert engagements in eight other countries on the piano and organ. Sean is a concert artist who is just as comfortable in classical as he is with jazz. He tours nationally in his own shows showcasing music from the “Great American SongBook” and improvising music for silent movies.
