This summer, dell’Arte Opera Ensemble invites you to revel in a Parisian world of festivity, sensuality, and high drama, as embodied in the works of Verdi and Massenet.
The “Violetta & Her Sisters” theme encompasses numerous stories of the French demimonde, including grisettes and courtesans, and the men who loved (and tried to control) them. The title of our festival comes (with kind permission from publisher Faber & Faber) from a 1994 collection of poetry and essays edited by Nicholas John.
Giuseppe Verdi’s La traviata (libretto by Francesco Maria Paive) will be conducted by John Spencer IV and directed by Kyle Pfortmiller.
Jules Massenet’s Manon (libretto by Henri Meilhac and Philippe Gille) will be conducted by Chris Fecteau and directed by Victoria Crutchfield.
Scenes from the demi-monde will be directed by Joule Voelz and Brittany Goodwin, and conducted by David Štech.
Chansons de Baudelaire song settings of the great 19th century French poet Baudelaire by Debussy, Duparc, Fauré, Vierne, d’Indy, Charles Loeffler, Judith Lang Zaimont & Ellen Mandel, plus piano works of Hahn and Godard
All performances @ the Rose Nagelberg Theater
