[PAST EVENT] Gian Carlo Menotti's The Telephone
May 6, 2012
2pm - 4pm
Location
Kimball Theatre, Williamsburg
The fully staged opera will feature Jonathan Ware at the piano. The program also includes opera scenes from Bel Canto to Verismo.
Tickets are $30, with $25 for seniors and military personnel and $10 for students, through 1-800-HISTORY (1-800-447-8679).
Soprano Emily Duncan-Brown has been "thrilling audiences with her warm, rich middle, a shimmering flexible top, and excellent control and her exquisitely beautiful delivery." (Opera News Online). She is joined by baritone Jonathan Estabrooks, "commanding and energetic," whose voice "exhibits vocal flexibility with a round voice thundering especially in its lowest register" ( L'ACADIE NOUVELLE, Caraquet.).
Jonathan Ware, the program's pianist, has played recently at Alice Tully Hall, The Ravinia.
The Telephone played on Broadway for more than 250 performances in 1947 and 1950. The topic is one all can still relate to: What happens to relationships when technology interferes - in this case, the telephone?
Menotti is familiar to Williamsburg from the Williamsburg Choral Guild's production of Amahl and the Night Visitors last December.
