Oooh, it's been a bit since I last updated, hasn't it? My apologies! The very thing that I'm posting about is the very thing that has been preventing me from posting!
Opera Cleveland's fall production of Don Giovanni stars Alyson Cambridge '01 in the role of Donna Elvira. Alyson is a frequent guest of the Metropolitan Opera, having made her debut in 2004 under the baton of James Levine as Frasquita in Carmen. She has also sung with Washington National Opera, Atlanta Opera, Boston Lyric Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Opera Theatre of St. Louis and Wolf Trap Opera, to name but a few.
A number of other Obies are involved in the production, including Kira McGirr '06 (your very own Regional Coordinator), women's chorus; Patrick Wickliffe '05, Assistant Chorus Master; Charles Griffith '60, cello; and Christian Behrens '09, trombone.
Under the stage direction of John Hoomes and the set design of Kris Stone, modernity and tradition come together in a visually arresting production, with characters in period costume juxtaposed with strikingly abstract modern sets. Experience Moxart's masterpiece as you never have before!
The final performance is Saturday, November 7th at 8pm. For more information about the opera and tickets, please visit Opera Cleveland or contact the Playhouse Square ticket office at 866-546-1353.
