Tony award winner Kelli O’Hara & Nathan Gunn in the Sun Valley Pavilion on Labor Day Weekend last year really was the epitome of grand finales, and we were so happy to be able to share it with our community. 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 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.

Bringing the best in vocal expertise to the Wood River Valley

Since its founding as a non-profit arts organization in 2001, the Sun Valley Opera’s mission has been to provide the highest quality opera, vocal arts and opera education to the Wood River Valley. 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 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.

Semi-staged in association with Opera Idaho Church of the Bigwood Saturday, February 18, 2107 6:30 pm

INTRODUCTION ’s melodrama about a volatile diva, a sadistic police chief, and an idealistic artist contains many famous arias, including “Vissi d’arte” (Tosca) and “E lucevan le stele” (Cavaradossi). Soprano Eleni Calenos returns as the ill-fated title character – Eleni has previously appeared with Opera Idaho in the title roles of La bohème and Madama Butterfly, and as Micaela in Carmen. Both during his lifetime and in posterity, Puccini’s success outstripped other Italian opera composers of his time, and he has been matched in this regard by only a handful of composers in the entire history of opera. Three of Puccini’s operas (Tosca, La bohème and Madama Butterfly) rank among the top ten works performed worldwide. This will be Opera Idaho’s fifth production of Tosca, making the opera one of the company’s most oft-performed operas. The most recent production was in 2003.

Cesare Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner, rushes into the church of Sant’Andrea della Valle. He hides in one of the chapels just before the painter Mario Cavaradossi arrives to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene. The painting has been inspired by the Marchesa Attavanti, whom Cavaradossi has seen in the church but does not know. He is struck by the resemblance of the dark-haired beauty of his lover, the singer Floria Tosca, and that of the blonde Marchesa Attavanti. Angelotti, who was a member of the former Bonapartiste government, emerges from his hiding place. Cavaradossi recognizes him and promises help, then hurries him back into the chapel as Tosca is heard calling from outside. She jealously asks Cavaradossi whom he has been talking to and reminds him of their rendezvous that evening. Suddenly recognizing the Marchesa Attavanti in the painting, she accuses him of being unfaithful, but he assures her of his love. When Tosca has left, Angelotti again comes out of hiding. A cannon signals that the police have discovered the escape, and he and Cavaradossi flee to the painter’s house. The sacristan enters with choirboys who are preparing to sing in a Te Deum celebrating the recent victory against Napoleon at the Battle of Marengo. Their excitement is silenced by the arrival of Baron Scarpia, chief of the secret police, who is searching for Angelotti. When Tosca comes back looking for Cavaradossi, Scarpia shows her a fan with the Attavanti crest that he has just found. Seemingly finding her suspicions about her lover’s infidelity confirmed, Tosca bursts into tears. She vows vengeance and leaves as the church fills with worshippers. Scarpia sends his men to follow her to Cavaradossi, with whom he thinks Angelotti is hiding. While the congregation sings the Te Deum, Scarpia declares that he will bend Tosca to his will. ACT II In his study at the Palazzo Farnese, Scarpia anticipates the pleasure of having Tosca in his power. The spy Spoletta arrives with news that he was unable to find Angelotti. Instead he brings in Cavaradossi. While Scarpia interrogates the defiant painter, Tosca is heard singing at a royal gala in the same building. Scarpia sends for her and she appears just as Cavaradossi is being taken away to be tortured. Frightened by Scarpia’s questions and Cavaradossi’s screams, Tosca reveals Angelotti’s hiding place. Cavaradossi is brought in, badly hurt and hardly conscious. When he realizes what has happened, he angrily confronts Tosca, just as the officer Sciarrone rushes in to announce that Napoleon in fact has won the battle, a defeat for Scarpia’s side. Cavaradossi shouts out his defiance of tyranny and is dragged off to be executed. Scarpia calmly suggests to Tosca that he would let Cavaradossi go free if she’d give herself to him. Fighting off his advances, she declares she has dedicated her life to art and love and calls on God for help. Scarpia insists, when Spoletta interrupts: faced with capture, Angelotti has killed himself. Tosca, now forced to give in or lose her lover, agrees to Scarpia’s proposition. Scarpia orders Spoletta to prepare for a mock execution of Cavaradossi, after which he is to be freed. Tosca demands that Scarpia write her a safe-conduct. When he has done so, she grabs a knife from a table and stabs him. ACT III At dawn the next morning, Cavaradossi awaits execution at the Castel Sant’Angelo. He bribes the jailer to deliver a farewell letter to Tosca, then, overcome with emotion, gives in to his despair. Tosca appears and explains what has happened. The two imagine their future in freedom. As the execution squad arrives, Tosca implores Cavaradossi to fake his death convincingly, then hides. The soldiers fire and depart. Cavaradossi doesn’t move and Tosca realizes that Scarpia has betrayed her. Just as Spoletta rushes in to arrest her, she leaps from the battlement. 11 ROBERT BREAULT Tenor Robert Breault, a native of Menominee, Michigan, lives with his wife Julia in .
