Cavalleria Rusticana

BBermudez — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 20:05:05 +0000

This upcoming month of April, I will be performing the role of “Alfio” in a fantastic production of Cavalleria Rusticana, by Pietro Mascagni. Produced by The Vineyard Touring Opera Company.

The beloved one-act opera, Cavalleria Rusticana, is one of the most frequently performed operas in modern repertory, and it will be presented with a full orchestra and chorus. Though this opera may not have great name recognition, people will likely recognize the music: its themes have been widely used and featured prominently in films such as Raging Bull and Godfather III. Based on a classic Italian short story, the opera set in a Sicilian Village, tells the story of passion that is too powerful to resist, and its deadly consequences. The music is by Pietro Mascagni and the libretto by Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti and Guido Menasci.

Cavalleria Rusticana provides a wonderful opportunity for the curious to experience opera. It has fabulous music, beautiful voices, and passionate operatic storytelling. All performances will have Super Titles in English projected overhead to help the audience follow the story.

Santa Monica performances, Saturday, April 2 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 3 at 2 p.m. at the Santa Monica Bay Woman’s Club, 1210 Fourth St., Santa Monica, CA 91401

Claremont performances, Saturday, April 9 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Woman’s Club of Claremont, 343 West 12th St., Claremont, CA 91711

Tickets, priced at $25, are available online at www.vtopera.org. Reduced price tickets ($15) for seniors and students will be available at the door.

Magic Flute a great success

BBermudez — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 06:56:14 +0000

Well the curtain finally went up and it was smooth sailing, our small production of Magic Flute came together at the nick of time and the final product was a crowd pleaser. Portraying the role of Papageno was a wonderful and entertaining experience, allowing me to explore my comedic side. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
