Opera
Bard College Conservatory of Music Benefit:
Two One-Act Operas
Friday, March 21, 2008 - Saturday, March 22, 2008
View/hide this event description
Two evenings of opera, directed by Doug Fitch, featuring the world premiere of the Conservatory-commissioned one-act opera
A Bird in Your Ear, by David Bruce, and the first fully staged abridged, one-act version of Virgil Thomson’s
Four Saints in Three Acts. Individual tickets are $15, $25, and $50* (*includes priority seating and a pre-performance reception with the artists on March 21).
A Bird in Your Ear, with libretto by Alasdair Middleton, is based on a Russian folk tale called “The Language of the Birds,” which explores the importance of listening to nature, of forgiveness, and much more. Commissioned by The Bard College Conservatory of Music, the opera features soprano
Kristin Ezell as Narrator I, soprano
Melissa Wegner as Narrator II, mezzo-soprano
Tania Maria Rodriguez as Narrator III, soprano
Chanel Wood as Nightingale, soprano
Yulia Van Doren as Bird with Golden Plumage, soprano
Rie Miyake as Princess, tenor
Sung Eun Lee as Ivan, and bass-baritone
Yohan Yi as Captain, Merchant, and King.
Four Saints in Three Acts, with libretto by Gertrude Stein, is the first fully staged production of the one-act abridged version created by Thomson in 1954 for a commercial recording. Without a traditional plotline, the opera is based on the religious life of St. Teresa of Avila, St. Ignatius of Loyola, and the younger saints who are their companions and students, including St. Settlement (St. Teresa’s confidante) and St. Chavez (St. Ignatius’ aide-de-camp). This production includes soprano
Maghan Stewart as St. Teresa I, mezzo-soprano
Solange Merdinian as St. Teresa II, soprano
Rachel Schutz as St. Settlement, tenor
Patrick Cook as St. Chavez and St. Stephen, baritone
Yang Yang as St. Ignatius, mezzo-soprano
Julie Anne Miller as The Commère, and bass-baritone
Yohan Yi as The Compère. Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater
