SUMMARY:Opera Del Sol Double Feature: Susanna’s Secret and Trouble In Tahiti
DESCRIPTION:🎭 Opera Del Sol Presents: A Double Dose of Wit and Reflection 🎭Susanna’s Secret by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari & Trouble in Tahiti by Leonard Bernstein \nExperience an evening of contrasting operatic gems as Opera Del Sol brings two captivating one-act operas to the Orlando stage for the first time. \nSusanna’s SecretComposed by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari in 1909\, this delightful intermezzo offers a comedic glimpse into marital suspicion and the quirks of domestic life. When Count Gil detects the scent of tobacco on his wife\, Susanna\, he suspects infidelity. The truth\, however\, is far more amusing. With its elegant score and light-hearted narrative\, Susanna’s Secret has charmed audiences for over a century . \nTrouble in TahitiLeonard Bernstein’s 1952 opera paints a poignant portrait of suburban disillusionment. Following a day in the life of Sam and Dinah\, a couple ensnared in the monotony of 1950s American life\, the opera delves into themes of communication breakdown and the pursuit of genuine connection. Bernstein’s blend of jazz\, popular music\, and classical elements creates a soundscape that is both nostalgic and critically reflective . \nThis unique pairing juxtaposes the light-hearted with the introspective\, offering audiences a rich tapestry of operatic storytelling. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness two masterful works that\, together\, explore the complexities of love\, trust\, and the human experience. \n\nStay tuned for ticket information and performance details!

SUMMARY:The Ballad of Baby Doe
DESCRIPTION:The Ballad of Baby Doe is a timeless American opera that resonates with themes of love\, resilience\, and ambition\, set against the vibrant backdrop of the Colorado Silver Boom. Directed by Eric Pinder with music direction by Julian Bond\, this masterpiece brings history to life\, exploring the complex dynamics of relationships and societal change through poignant melodies and heartfelt storytelling. \nAt Central Florida Vocal Arts\, we believe in the transformative power of performance to inspire and connect audiences and The Ballad of Baby Doe exemplifies this ethos. The story centers on the real-life figure Elizabeth “Baby” Doe\, whose unwavering spirit and tender love for silver magnate Horace Tabor triumph amidst adversity. As Baby Doe’s journey unfolds—from her humble beginnings to her tumultuous relationship with Horace—audiences are immersed in a tale of passion\, heartbreak and ultimate redemption. \nThe Ballad of Baby Doe is one of the most treasured American operas. Its plot is based on the lives of actual historical figures from Colorado\, Horace Tabor and his wife\, Elizabeth (“Baby Doe”) Tabor. Memorable arias include the title heroine’s arias “Willow Song” and “Letter Aria\,” as well as Horace Tabor’s “Warm as the Autumn Light.” \nThis operatic treasure is not only a celebration of American musical tradition but also an intimate exploration of the human spirit. Featuring lush orchestrations\, unforgettable arias like “Willow Song\,” and characters brimming with emotional depth\, The Ballad of Baby Doe speaks to the values of perseverance\, individuality and grace under pressure. \nThe opera The Ballad of Baby Doe premiered at the Central City Opera in Colorado in 1956 with Dolores Wilson in the title role. The opera’s New York premiere\, directed by Vladimir Rosing\, was presented at the New York City Opera in 1958\, starring Beverly Sills as Baby Doe Tabor.\n\nOPERA TICKETS ON SALE NOW\n\n\n\nThis project was funded in part by Orange County Government through the Arts & Cultural Affairs Program. \n\n\n  \nMore About The Ballad of Baby Doe\nCAST & CREW \nDIGITAL PLAYBILL \n  \n\nGet Tickets\n\n
