Bleecker Street Opera in The New Yorker

Goings On About Town 
Classical Music (1/11/2010)
The hardy, rough-and-ready ethos of the old Amato Opera had its charm, but its limitations became clear as the decades went by. Bleecker Street, one of two companies formed by former Amato personnel, has fostered a more professional standard of performance; its production of Rossini’s immortal comedy is directed by Teresa K. Pond and conducted by David Rosenmeyer, the associate conductor of the Oratorio Society of New York. (45 Bleecker Street Theatre. 212-239-6200. Jan. 9 at 3 and Jan. 10 at 7.)

Bleecker Street Opera Presents The Barber of Seville

On January 17, 2010 I will be subbing for flutist Sato Moughalian in another performance ofBleecker Street Opera’s run of Il Barbiere di Siviglia. I enjoyed performing with the company on the production’s opening night, December 20, 2009, and look forward to working with them again! An offshoot of Amato Opera, Bleecker Street Opera’s mission is “to continue and enhance the performance work of the Amato Opera Theatre.”

Bleecker Street Opera’s second production of their acclaimed inaugural season opens on December 6th with Rossini’s knock-out comedy The Barber of Seville. Conductor David Rosenmeyer and Director Theresa K.Pond lead the brilliant cast and orchestra in this popular and delightful opera.

 

The clever Figaro helps the Count Almaviva disguise himself in order to win the love of the beautiful Rosina and to rescue her from her awful guardian Dr. Bartolo. Full of plot twists and witty repartee, this is a show not to be missed!

Performance Dates: Sunday Dec 20 – Sunday Jan 17

Schedule: Saturdays @ 3pm
Sundays @ 7pm
