OPERA
Ghost of Versailles
- Friday July 27 @ 7:30pm - 10:00pm
- Sunday July 29 @ 2pm - 4pm
Broad Auditorium
For the first time in Florida, MMF proudly presents John Corigliano’s grand opera buffa, Ghosts of Versailles , The spirits have literally come back to court; the court of Louis XVI that is. Marie Antoinette is upset about having been beheaded, so her favorite playwright attempts to entertain her by continuing the adventures of his characters from The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro. This opera-within-an-opera goes awry when Figaro refuses to stick to the script and the playwright must come to the Queen’s rescue and win her affection.
La Rondine
Saturday, July 28 @ 7:30pm - 10:00pm
Broad Auditorium
La Rondine is an Italian comic opera set in mid-19th century Paris and the French Riviera. Created by Giacomo Puccini in 1916, it tells the love story between a woman from high society and a naïve younger man of lesser means. The story twists and turns through the tumultuous times of true love.
Radamisto
- Saturday July 28 @ 2:00 pm
- Sunday July 29 @ 5:00 pm
Webber Hall @ Barry University
Radamisto was the first opera Handel wrote for the newly formed Royal Academy of Music of London. The opera's plot is loosely based on incidents from Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome. Set in ancient Armenia, this fiery opera involves a tyrannical king who covets the wife of a neighboring kingdom and creates a world of drama in his quest to possess her.
See you this summer at Barry!
