SUMMARY:Il Barbieri di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)
DESCRIPTION:This opera is a two-act comedy with lots of disguise\, subterfuge and deceit. It is poorly named\, as it has little to do with the barber of the title (Figaro)\, who instead plays matchmaker. Basically\, Count Almaviva is smitten with Rosina\, the ward of Doctor Bartolo\, who is also smitten with her. The problem is\, Doctor Bartolo is a grumpy old codger whom Rosina has no interest in.  Knowing this\, he keeps her confined and sheltered to prevent her from being wooed.  Enter Figaro\, Bartolo’s barber and general jack of all trades\, who helps the count gain access to Bartolo’s household and Rosina.  However\, the count does not want to be loved for his wealth or title; he disguises himself as a poor student named Lindoro. Rosina and Lindoro’s attempts to communicate with each other\, amid the doctor’s suspicious nature and with Figaro’s help\, generate much of the comedy.  This opera is based on the first play of a trilogy by French playwright Pierre Beaumarchais. \n\nThe Cast\n(in order of vocal appearance)\nFiorello               – Chris Palmer\nConte Almaviva  – Ryan Nauta\nFigaro                 – Christopher Dunham\nRosina                – Meagan Reimer\nDottore Bartolo   – Ryan Hofman\nDon Basilio         – Luke Noftall\nBerta                  – Daniela Agostino\nAmbrogio           – TBD\nSergeant            – Chris Palmer

SUMMARY:Double Bill: Il Segreto di Susanna (Susanna’s Secret) & Cavalleria Rusticana (Rustic Chivalry)
DESCRIPTION:   Join us for this Double Bill \nIl Segreto di Susanna (Susanna’s Secret) by E. Wolf-Ferrari\n&\nCavalleria Rusticana (Rustic Chivalry) by P. Mascagni \nMascagni’s epic dramatic opera is usually paired up with another short opera\, usually Pagliacci\, which is equally dramatic.  This time we’re pairing it with Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari’s Il Segreto di Susanna.  In fact\, this just may be the first time these two operas have been paired up in one operatic evening.  We think the lighter story and delightful\, accessible music of Wolf-Ferrari (1876-1948) will beautifully complement the passionate story and powerful music of Cavalleria Rusticana.  It will make for a well-rounded evening out at the opera. \nCavalleria Rusticana (English: Rustic Chivalry).  The scene is a Sicilian village in the 19th century leading up to Easter Day.  Turiddù\, a young peasant and son of a widowed mother\, is in love with the coquette Lola\, the daughter of Farmer Angelo.  On his return from military service\, he finds her soon to be married to Alfio.  Lola\, annoyed that Turiddù loves anyone else\, ensnares him again\, and her husband’s frequent absences allow them to meet at her house.  Santa takes revenge for this abandonment by revealing the affair to Alfio\, to Lola’s relatives\, and to Turiddù.  The evening before Easter\, Alfio finds Turiddù\, ashamed to be seen in public and challenges him to a duel.  After Turiddù gets a kiss from his mother\, he and Alfio go out the next morning to battle.  After Turiddù deals the first blow\, Alfio takes retribution\, and Turiddù is slain. \nSantuzza – TBD \nTuriddu   – TBD \nLucia       – TBD \nAlfio        – TBD \nLola        – TBD \nIl Segreto di Susanna (English: Susanna’s Secret) is a one-act opera by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari to an Italian libretto by Enrico Golisciani. The opera premiered in 1909 and is the most frequently performed of all of Wolf-Ferrari’s works.  The opera tells the story of a husband who suspects his wife is having an affair after discovering she smells like cigarettes; only later to discover that her secret is that she is a smoker. \nCountess Susanna – TBDCount Gil                – TBDSaints                     – TBD \nTickets ARE NOW available for sale!
