OPERA SCENES and The Man with the Good Face

Saturday, May 9, 2015
6:30pm
Syntax Physic Opera
554 South Broadway
Denver, CO
Tickets: $8 advance and students/$10 day of show

Arias are lovely – but operas are rarely one-man shows! The real fun, drama, and excitement happens when a few characters get together to plot, fall in love, bully, or just sing different things all at once.

We have scenes from The Magic Flute, Suor Angelica, Falstaff, Rigoletto, La Boheme and more for you!

This evening will also feature the world premiere of The Man with the Good Face, an operatic fable with words and music by Sarah Perske and Nathan Cornelius.

WE HEART PUCCINI!

Giacomo Puccini may not have been the most innovative composer of his time, but the man could write a mean melody.

Lots of mean melodies.

Glory.

So many that we are dedicating an entire night to sing as much of his transcendentally gorgeous music as you’ll let us! Which should be a lot, since you picked this theme, so clearly you want it!

Ruth Warner retired in 2010 from a career of teaching high school German, French and Russian and is now teaching occasional German and Russian classes at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. She earned a Ph.D. in Russian Literature from the Ohio State University in 1999.  She has long been interested in folklore, especially Russian, and has served the past five years on the board of directors for the American Friends of Russian Folklore.  She has traveled to Russia numerous times and participated in several folklore expeditions to Russian villages.

Ms. Warner will work with Opera on Tap Colorado singers on their Russian language repertoire in preparation for our Slavic Revolution show on March 14, 2015.

What do Elton John and Giuseppe Verdi have in common?  How about Disney and Dvorak?  If you guessed the stories of Aida and The Little Mermaid, you are right!  Our beloved operas share many of the same source material as many popular musicals.

Join us for an evening of magical stories told by operatic divas and musical mavens!
