Dear Readers,
I announce with mixed emotion that the final opportunity to see the Bronx Opera's 2015 production will be this weekend (January 17/18 @ the Kaye Playhouse in Hunter College). We opened last weekend after 3 months of musical/staging rehearsals. I am eager to sing this weekend and give a final "Ta" to Mayor Upfold and Albert: Britten's Albert Herring has been quite a labor, with some fantastic rewards. We touched a lot of lives visiting public schools in the Bronx.
Please, if you're a fan of opera or a fan of Britten (or both?) come out to see this production. In it's 48th season Michael Spierman's Bronx opera is presenting some great singers in Rod Gomez's staging. On Saturday the 17th see Leslie Swanson, Julie De Vaere, Chad Kranak, Helena Brown. Stan Lacy, Amy Maude Helfer, Andrew Oakden, Danielle Buonaiuto, C. David Morrow, Eric Ackerman, Hannah Fuerst and Kristina Gaschel.
If you can't make it on the 17th, please check out the great cast on Sunday the 18th: Terina Westmeyer, Caroline Tye, Erik Bagger, Heather Roberts, Steven Eddy, Yiselle Blum, Christopher Grundy, Halley Gilbert, Gilad Paz, Steven Fredericks, Noah Cadime-Gonzalez, Rachel Policar and Nina Riley.
In other news we've started rehearsals for LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR. I'll be singing Edgardo in NYOE's Spring 2015 production in New York.
Updates to come!
warmly,
Joe
