"Audible
Emotions"
What
makes singing onstage so fascinating, for singer and listener? How
do we make our emotions audible? How do we get "inside"
the music to understand it better? What is the connection between drama
and voice? And what is it like to share this onstage singing experience
together with others?
OPC
was created to examine those and lots of other questions, and have
fun doing it! This "informance" is
a combination of music and narration. Just the glorious sound of voices
- no costumes or scenery!
You'll
hear duets and ensembles including some of opera's "greatest
hits" – the Barcarolle from Tales
of Hoffmann,
"flower duets" from Lakme and Madama
Butterfly, and excerpts from Mozart's Magic
Flute and Cosi
fan tutte, Bizet's Pearl Fishers, Wagner's
Die Walküre, and Leonard Bernstein's Candide.
All
woven together with humorous anecdotes and fascinating historical
and musical insights by David Gordon (for more about David, follow this
