2010-2011 Season
A longing glance. A stolen kiss. Love under the moonlight. It’s a season of romance and enchantment at the Ellie! Three operas chronicle the magic of love in a season filled with timeless music and charming characters.La Bohème
By Giacomo Puccini
November 6, 9, 12, 14, & 16, 2010
A chance meeting between a young poet and the beautiful young woman next door ignites one of the most romantic love stories of all time. Love blooms under the moonlit Paris sky as Rodolfo and Mimi share their hopes and dreams. But can their love survive in the face of looming tragedy? The passion, beauty and fragility of young love comes vividly to life in Puccini’s masterpiece that has enchanted generations of opera-lovers.
Rusalka
By Antonin Dvorák
February 12, 15, 18, & 20, 2011
Dvorák's beloved fairytale opera is based on the folk story of a water sprite, Rusalka, who out of love for a mortal man longs to become human. Rusalka sings the haunting “Song to the Moon,” begging the celestial orb to tell the Prince of her love. The witch Jezibaba makes Rusalka’s dreams come true. But when the Prince she loves is unfaithful, there are tragic results for all. Rusalka will star soprano Kelly Kaduce in the title role. Opera News praised her work, writing “Kaduce sings with a bell-like purity and silvery sweetness, and she suspends her legato with an effortless, sensual spin. A born actress, Kaduce is also a masterful illuminator of text.”
Cinderella (La Cenerentola)
By Gioachino Rossini
April 30, May 3, 6 & 8, 2011
A young girl yearns for true love while under the thumb of her cruel stepfather and vain stepsisters. But when Cinderella offers kindness to a stranger, her fate is forever altered as she is whisked away to the ball and becomes the woman who captures the prince’s heart. Rossini’s version of the classic folk tale is a delight, and in the end Cinderella’s transformation is brought about not by supernatural powers, but through the magic of music.
