Harris Theater Presents
Sharon Isbin and Mark O'Connor
Saturday, March 6, 2010, 7:30 pm
Tickets: $45 - $75

Grammy Award-winning classical guitarist Sharon Isbin and virtuoso violinist Mark O'Connor will make their Chicago premiere performing together as duo recitalists in a program highlighting Sharon's new release on Sony Classical, Journey to the New World, a voyage in song from the British Isles to the New World. The disc features the world premiere of O'Connor's folk-inspired Strings & Threads Suite for violin and guitar and the Joan Baez Suite by John Duarte for solo guitar, both of which will be performed as part of Sharon and Mark's debut at the Harris.

Acclaimed for her lyricism and technique, Sharon Isbin is considered "the preeminent guitarist of our time." Her catalogue of more than 25 recordings - spanning Baroque, Spanish/Latin to jazz-fusion - reflect her versatility and ability to expand the guitar repertoire with some of the finest new works of the century. Sharon last performed in Chicago with the Grant Park Music Festival in 2006. Fresh off the release of the critically acclaimed world premiere recording of his most ambitious work yet, the six-movement "Americana Symphony" (performed by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under conductor Marin Alsop), Mark O'Connor is on the rise and considered one of the most talented and imaginative artists working in music today. A product of America's rich aural folk tradition as well as classical and flamenco music, O'Connor has melded and shaped these influences into a new American Classical music, and a vision of an entirely American school of string playing.

The Irving Harris Foundation is the Presenting Sponsor of the Sharon Isbin and Mark O'Connor engagement.

Harris Theater Presents
Stephen Sondheim
A Life In The Theater
Thursday, March 4, 7:30 pm
Tickets: $35 - $65

Marking a first-ever Harris Theater Presents dialogue and what promises to be an important moment of the 2009-2010 theater season in Chicago, composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim will offer a personal and engaging view of his life in the theatre and present a rare look into the mind of the most important artist to work in the American musical theater over the past half century. Sondheim, who will celebrate his 80th birthday on March 22, 2010, has not only collaborated on more than a dozen landmark shows and written countless standard songs but has also been the single most influential force in bringing the Broadway musical into the modern age.

During the live, unscripted conversation at the Harris, Stephen Sondheim and moderator Gary Griffin, Associate Artistic Director at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, will reminisce about his career including his collaborations with Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins and Tim Burton; predecessors, including his mentor Oscar Hammerstein II; the state of American musical theater; the differences between film and theater; and, in a very personal series of reflections, his own creative process, speaking specifically on works ranging from his early shows Gypsy and West Side Story to such later classics as Company, Follies and Sweeney Todd. Following the conversation, Sondheim will conduct a Q&A with audience members.

This intimate dialogue program may be repeated with other noteworthy speakers in future seasons at the Harris.

The Feitler Family Fund is the Presenting Sponsor of the Stephen Sondheim engagement.

Harris Theater Presents
Christine Ebersole
An Evening with Christine Ebersole

Having received virtually every Off-Broadway award and her second Tony Award for Leading Actress in a Musical for her "dual role of a lifetime" as Edie Beale and Little Edie Beale in Grey Gardens, and following a critically acclaimed cabaret engagement at New York's Café Carlyle, Christine Ebersole will make her Harris Theater debut and present a unique line-up of Broadway show tunes and standards for this special performance at the Harris.

Noted by The New York Times as having "the voice of a nightingale," Chicago native Christine Ebersole has enchanted audiences throughout her performing career, from the Broadway stage to cabaret performances, television series and specials, films, concert appearances, and recordings. Ms. Ebersole is currently starring in the Broadway revival of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit as Elvira and this past fall she delighted audiences by participating in the Opening Night Gala of Carnegie Hall's 118th Season. After making her debut with the Boston Pops two years ago, she returned to Boston's Symphony Hall and Tanglewood last season to star as Desiree Armfeldt in a concert version of A Little Night Music with the Boston Pops.

BlueCross Blue Shield of Illinois is the Lead Corporate Sponsor of the Christine Ebersole engagement.

Chicago Opera Theater
Gioacchino Rossini

MOSÈ IN EGITTO

April 17, 21, 23, 7:30pm; April 25,3pm

Tickets: Subscriptions (available now): $90 - $345; $45 - $105 student and youth (in sections B-D);
Single Tickets (available March 1, 2010): $30 - $120; $15 - $40 student and youth (in sections B-D)

Conductor: Leonardo Vordoni

Director: Andrew Eggert

THE BUZZ:
Opera lovers of Chicago were invited to choose an opera for performance by COT in 2010. Mosè in Egitto garnered the most votes-making it the People's Opera Winner!

THE HISTORY:
There has only been one performance of Mosè in Egitto in Chicago - in 1863 at the McVicker's Theatre on Madison and State. Be part of this historic second performance in Chicago, when COT presents the U.S. premiere of top Rossini scholar Philip Gossett's new edition of the opera.

THE HIGHLIGHT:
Yes, you'll see Moses part the Red Sea. But you'll also hear what some consider Rossini's most beautiful music in "Dal tuo stellato soglio" ("From Thy starry throne") sung by Andrea Concetti as Mosè, Manuela Bisceglie as Elcia, and supported by a chorus of 20 young singers playing the Hebrews and Egyptians.

(Sung in Italian with English supertitles).

Chicago Opera Theater
Francesco Cavalli

GIASONE

April 24, 28, 30, 7:30pm; May 2, 3pm

Tickets: Subscriptions (available now): $90 - $345; $45 - $105 student and youth (in sections B-D);
Single Tickets (available March 1, 2010): $30 - $120; $15 - $40 student and youth (in sections B-D)

Conductor: Christian Curnyn

Director: Justin Way

THE CHARM:
Cavalli cleverly mixed the myth of Jason and the Argonauts with bawdy humor, breaking all the operatic rules of the day. The result: Giasone became the most popular opera of the 17th century!

THE CHOICE:
Despite its stature in the operatic repertoire, this is the first time Giasone will be performed in Chicago by a professional opera company. Chicago Opera Theater continues its mission of bringing never-performed-here works to this city. Giasone also anchors the City of Chicago's first annual Early Music Festival.

THE CONDUCTOR:
Christian Curnyn is one of the most heralded young opera conductors of today. The Guardian called his 2008 performance of Giasone one of "great panache," and credited Curnyn with ensuring "that the sheer variety and power of Cavalli's score comes across."

(Sung in Italian with English supertitles).

"Jake Heggie has a true gift for soaring and meaningful melody, a great ear for orchestral effects, a talent for picking good source material, and a knack for crafting affecting melodrama (in the best sense of that word) that can move an audience to tears." -Opera Today
