PR Pocket Opera's 2009 Season Begins On 2/21
Pocket Opera's 32nd season is decidedly different. We're presenting six operas at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco (we've done that before), three at the Napa Valley Opera House (again, not new) and four at the Julia Morgan Theater in Berkeley (New!)
Pocket Opera audiences have a fondness for Offenbach, so we're inaugurating the season with his "La Belle Helene". We are also staging two of Donald Pippin's brand new translations: "La Favorita" by Donizetti and Moniuszko's "The Haunted Manor", considered by many in Poland to be their national opera. We're thrilled to announce that we're co-producing Moniuszko's opera with the National Endowment for the Arts (New!) and The Polish Arts and Culture Foundation (Even Newer!).
With the exception of Handel's Alcina, all the operas will be performed in English, using Donald Pippin's acclaimed translations. Our season usually wraps up with one razzle-dazzle blockbuster- this year we offer two: "The Barber of Seville" and "Carmen".
"Pocket Opera is one of Northern California's most consistently successful blendings of artistic excellence and high quality entertainment".
