THE OPERA SHOW Comes to Gainesville 2/9
The electrifying international sensation THE OPERA SHOW, is coming to the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts for one night only on Tuesday February 9, 7:30 p.m. This extraordinary performance promises an alluring, playful and electrifying evening that will delight opera enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
THE OPERA SHOW is a stunning spectacle of the world's most seductive arias performed in colorful, breathtaking style for the 21st century. This ravishing, original production just completed a sold-out engagement in the United Kingdom and received rave notices. "Consummately beautiful!" writes The Stage. The Daily Express deemed it "Totally captivating" and "Fiercely brilliant."
THE OPERA SHOW takes audiences on a journey through the ages and features opera's most evocative masterpieces, including Nessun Dorma, La Donna E Mobile, Habanera, O Sole Mio as well as other classics by Puccini, Verdi, Rossini and Mozart among others. Featuring dazzling choreography, spectacular costumes and sung by consummate vocalists, THE OPERA SHOW is an electrifying evening that will delight opera enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
THE OPERA SHOW is presented in three acts, carrying the audience through vivid visual allegories beginning with the fanciful Baroque period, to 1940's post civil war Spain and then through to the electronic age of now and the future.
Produced by To Be Productions (Celia and Richard Mackay, Mitch Sebastian) THE OPERA SHOW originated in the opulent pastoral setting of Kilworth House Hotel and Theatre, a 19th century Italianate estate located in Leicestershire England which the London Daily Telegraph recently deemed "the best kept secret in British Theatre".
THE OPERA SHOW is an impressive collaboration by an international creative team whose work has been seen in theatres and symphony halls around the world.
