He was only twenty-four years old at the time. Based on Charles Perrault’s CENDRILLON of 1697, La Cenerentola follows a common girl who dreams of a happier life and a prince who seeks to marry the most beautiful girl he can find. Rossini’s plot diverges from the fairy-tale tradition and takes a more realistic approach, with an endearing and sensible central character. Director John Hoomes brings some of the magic spirit back by setting the farcical tale by the sea in his BEACH BLANKET BINGO -inspired staging. THIS SYNOPSIS HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT JOHN HOOMES’S BEACH-PARTY STAGING It’s morning in the broken-down surf shop owned by Don and tells him to search for the young woman wearing the Magnifico.

La Fille Du Régiment
LELELELE BUGUE BUGUEBUGUEBUGUE Salle Eugène Le Roy Réservation : Maison de la Presse Le Bugue 05 53 07 22 83 Gaetano Donizetti LA FILLE DU RÉGIMENT Orpheline, Marie was taken in by Sergeant Sulpice, who employs him as a cantinière in his regiment. Crazy in love with Marie, the young peasant Tonio engages in the battalion to see her every day. When the Marquise of Berkenfield reveals the true identity of Mary, who is her daughter, the young woman could be separated forever from Tonio. Acclaimed by the lyric press, South African soprano Pretty Yende returns to the stage of the Met opposite the tenor Javier Camarena for an opera of great vocal virtuosity under the baton of Enrique Mazzola. The alchemist Donizetti's expertise once again acts with this unique blend of melancholy and joy. Tenor Javier Camarena and soprano Pretty Yende team up for a feast of bel canto vocal fireworks—including the show-stopping tenor aria “Ah! Mes amis … Pour mon âme,” with its nine high Cs. Alessandro Corbelli and Maurizio Muraro trade off as the comic Sergeant Sulpice, with mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield. And in an exciting piece of casting, stage and screen icon Kathleen Turner makes her Met debut in the speaking role of the Duchess of Krakenthorp. Enrique Mazzola conducts. Conductor Marie Marquise Enrique Pretty Stéphanie Mazzola Yende Blythe soprano Mezzo soprano Duchess Tonio Sulpice Kathleen Javier Maurizio Turner Camarena Muraro actress tenor Bass Production : Laurent Pelly DATE : 2nd March 2019 Time : 6.25pm Opera en 2 acts by Giacomo Puccini LA FILLE DU RÉGIMENT World Premiere : Opéra Comique, Paris, 1840.

Rossini’s operatic La cenerentoLa version of the Cinderella tale—“Cenerentola” in Italian—is charming, an opera in two acts, sung in Italian beautiful, touching, and dramatically convincing, propelled by soaring music by Giachino rossini melodies and laced with humor both subtle and broad. Libretto by Jacopo ferretti, after In Western culture, the name Cinderella may bring to mind an animated charles perrault’s cendrillon and film or a child’s bedtime reading, but the story is universal across time librettos by charles-Guillaume Etienne and francesco fiorini and continents. Long before the Brothers Grimm and Walt Disney came along, dozens of versions were told in many countries, including a Chinese first performed on January, 1817 in rome, Italy Cinderella created more than a thousand years ago. Every interpretation is different, and Rossini’s La Cenerentola is no pROducTiOn exception. Surprisingly, it’s not even a fairy tale.

Mozart. Moustaches. Mischief. COSI FAN TUTTE Opens February
Lyric's Così fan tutte | Opens February 17 FROM: Lisa Middleton Vice President, Marketing and Communications MEDIA INQUIRIES: PHOTO: Cory Weaver/ San Francisco Opera Lyric Opera of Chicago Holly H. Gilson [email protected] 312-827-5939 What You Need to Know About Magda Krance COSÌ FAN TUTTE at Lyric Opera of Chicago [email protected] 312-827-5924 Not much is fair in love and war, as two courting couples Kamaria Morris discover in Mozart’s sophisticated battle of the sexes. [email protected] 312-827-5928 Starring Ana María Martínez, Marianne Crebassa, The Silverman Group, Inc. Elizabeth Neukirch Elena Tsallagova, Andrew Stenson, [email protected] 312-932-9911 Joshua Hopkins, and Alessandro Corbelli Seven performances February 17 - March 16 Subtitled “The School for Lovers,” this beloved and bittersweet comedy is a probing look into romantic relationships, for better and worse, revealed through the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his brilliant librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte. Così fan tutte is sophisticated and thought-provoking...and also cheeky and slapstick. It’ll make you laugh and, at times, wince, remembering your own youthful amorous follies. It underscores how what lovers say and how they act often contradicts their true feelings. The music will move you to tears (the farewell trio “Soave sia il vento”) and astonish you with its breathtaking leaps and runs (the formidable aria “Come scoglio”). Mozart was a groundbreaker in comic opera, composing music to convey the psychological underpinnings of the stories he set, to go far beyond mere amusement. The overture lets you know what you’re in for.

Wigtil, M.M. University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Pamela Starr The Met: Live in HD satellite broadcasts of live opera performances began in 2006 and have since become popular with audiences around the world. While this could be an excellent avenue to democratize opera and make it available to new audiences, the available data indicates that most Live in HD viewers are already opera enthusiasts and have previously attended live opera performances. This thesis examines the history of the Metropolitan Opera’s broadcasting efforts, the demographics of American opera audiences, trends in Live in HD’s repertoire, and strategies to increase Live in HD’s appeal to a broader, more diverse audience that can revitalize opera’s popularity in the United States.
