ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Opera Theater Brings to Life Two Charming Tales


opera fall

The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Opera Theater—with director Dean Southern, conductor Harry Davidson and the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Orchestra—will present Stravinsky's Le Rossignol (The Nightingale) and Ravel's L’Enfant et les Sortilèges (The Child and the Spells) November 7-10 in Kulas Hall.

Two charming tales of fantasy come to life in these one-act operas in which the human and non-human worlds meet in magical ways. Le Rossignol is based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale about an emperor whose love for a real nightingale’s song is challenged by the tinkling of a mechanical bird he receives as a gift. In L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, a misbehaving young boy learns a valuable lesson from the animals, objects and even plants he has harmed.

All productions include projected English text.
