hampagne and Candlelight is a company that’s serious about opera. . C In past seasons they’ve brought us both well known pieces like Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Iolanthe” and Kurt Weill’s “Three-penny Opera,” as well as lesser known works like stage Weill’s “Street Scene,” a musical adaptation of Elmer Rice’s play by the same name. Now, the company is digging into the positively obscure — “Zaide,” an unfinished early work of Wolfgang Amadeus A world of stars and new Mozart; and “La Serva Pedronna,” a seminal but seldom per- formed work by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, an eighteenth century Neapolitan composer who wrote 13 operas including “The Maid as Mistress,” most of which are lost, and lots of discoveries at Brooklyn Center church music. Both operas will be staged in the Chapel Theater at the By Lisa J. Curtis performers like that. First Unitarian Church with a minimum of props and scenery.
