| Catch
the operatic wave
Vizioli to meet Mozart in Bloomington
|
(Editor’s note: Here are some
opera fast facts to enhance your musical experience. All
MAC operas include projected English “supertitles”
above the stage, even when the opera is sung in English
(all but one of this season’s productions will be
presented in English). Seraglio means “harem”
or “palace” and the “g” is silent,
“ser-al-yo.” A pre-opera dinner is scheduled
on the MAC lawn Sept. 26-27; details are available at
the MAC box office, 812-855-7433. Seating is limited.)
Expect an extraordinary onstage spectacle when guest stage
director Stefano Vizioli brings Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s
Abduction from the Seraglio to the stage of IU Bloomington’s
Musical Arts Center (MAC) later this month. Vizioli’s
production, including simulated ocean waves, will transport
the audience to an exotic, new land filled with mayhem
and delight. The all-new production of Mozart’s
romantic comedy will be performed on Fridays and Saturdays,
Sept. 26-27 and Oct. 3-4, with an impressive combination
of distinguished IU faculty and guest artists. Imre
Palló will conduct the IU Concert Orchestra, and
the new set design is by Robert O’Hearn. All performances
are at 8 p.m. and are preceded by free Opera Informances
at 7 p.m. on the MAC’s mezzanine level. The production
will be sung in English.
