This morning, we had the pleasure of hosting Park City Opera, a local non-profit committed to making opera engaging and accessible for today's audiences. Operations Director and Co-Founder, Lisl Wangermann, explained how she and her team curate diverse seasons that blend informal, free performances at local venues with full-scale theatrical productions.
Park City Opera's next major show is Charles Gounod's, “Romeo et Juliette." Directed by Ms. Wangermann, this production reimagines the pageantry and passion of Shakespeare's well-known play through the grand orchestral and theatrical language of French Romantic opera. In partnership with Ballet West, it will also feature dance choreography by Michael Waldrop.
Performances will be held on August 21st & 23rd--and will include English subtitles.
Co-Founder and Conductor, Benjamin Beckman, and Utah-based soprano, Nicole Heinen, treated us to a sneak preview of Juliette's hauntingly beautiful "Poison Aria."
