Bard Conservatory Graduate Vocal Arts Program Presents
"Simply Sinful"
Two streamed operas: Menotti's The Medium and Weill's Seven Deadly Sins
Tuesday, May 25, 2021
Online Event
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Two operas. A satire and a drama, both struggling with personalities at odds, fighting through desire, loss of innocence, manipulation of relationships, passive aggression, the battle between good and evil- all brilliant fodder for operatic therapy.7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Weill’s “Seven Deadly Sins” utilizes an expanded cast featuring all thirteen members of the Bard Graduate Vocal Arts Program, with five different singers portraying Anna 1, one brilliant Anna 2, and a marvelous cast of singers mixing and matching to make up our family chorus. Each performance of Menotti’s “The Medium” features two different casts, with several overlapping artists.
Just as we chose to expand the Weill cast, we expanded the cast of the Menotti by one, creating a separate character to play the role of “The Ghost.”
Singing and playing masked, using minimal sets and props, we are incredibly thankful to have had an opportunity to rehearse and perform together in the same space with wonderful two piano reductions for each opera. --S. Blythe
