UA Opera's
Dialogues of the Carmelites
|
|
|
While the Arizona Opera season ends with La cenerentola, there is still great live opera in Tucson this month. The University of Arizona Opera Theater is staging Dialogues of the Carmelites, in English with supertitles, on Friday, April 7, at 7:30pm and Sunday, April 9, at 3:00pm. Mary Duncan is the stage director, and Thomas Cockrell conducts.
The drama takes place during the French Revolution; its finale is one of the most chilling moments in all opera.
The large cast includes many singers familiar to OGSA members from Quest for the Best and our opera previews. Portraying Carmelite sisters are Abigail Hart (Friday), Ariana Iñiguez (Sunday), Piper Pack-Smith, Clara Salomon (Fri.), Soleil Oliva (Sun.), Samantha Luna, Samantha Hornback (Fri.), and Michelle Perrier (Sun.).
