We are all set for a special week! Tickets still available for both operas.
Florencia en el Amazonas
Music by Daniel Catan
Libretto by Marcela Fuentes-Berain
Florencia en el Amazonas (featuring American soprano Pamela Armstrong) encompasses elements of magical realism blended with a late romantic style. Florencia tells the story of a passage through the fabled rain forest. During this mystical voyage of discovery, each passenger harbors secret hopes of what the trip will bring. Among them, a famous prima donna hopes to recapture the great love of her life. Reality and fantasy intertwine as the dangerous splendors of the Amazon test the travelers' preconceptions of their hopes and dreams. Composer Daniel Catan's musical influences of Puccini and Debussy are heard, with themes drawn from Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez (whose works include "Love in the Time of Cholera").
August 11th, 7pm
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Music by Tobias Picker
Libretto by Donald Sturrock
Creative adaptation of the beloved story by Roald Dahl. Mr. Fox works hard to keep his family fed, finally outwitting the farmers who destroyed the foxes den.
