Come celebrate 75 years of opera on the Milwaukee stage with the Florentine Opera, and an ecclectic cast of fascinating characters! (Photo courtesy of Richard Brodzeller for Florentine Opera Company, (c) 2003.)
Wondering what you’ll hear tomorrow evening at our Diamond Concert & Celebration?
You’ll spend the evening, among other things:
- Being seduced by opera’s favorite bad girl and a bullfighting hero.
- Pleading for mercy after a costume ball goes horribly awry.
- Lamenting your eternal, restless journey on the high seas.
- Laughing at the fickleness of womankind.
- Falling in love with a mystical Goddess (but convincing yourself that you’d never let something as trivial as a woman come between you & your fellow fishermen).
- Sacrificing your own happiness for the honor of a virtuous & handsome Spanish soldier.
- Drawing on the power of love to help the object of your affection escape from the Pasha.
- Learning about the acting techniques of the performers of the Comédie-Française.
- Anxiously awaiting the arrival of your lover to your pre-arranged secret tryst.
- Arranging for a Temple Virgin to become your beloved childrens’ new adoptive mother.
(Did we forget to mention that you’ll also be enjoying the incredible vocal range and power of four world-class opera stars and the glorious sound of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra? If this sounds like too much excitement to miss and you still need your tickets, don’t worry: you may purchase them at the Marcus Center Box Office, located at 929 N. Water St, or call 414-273-7206.)
