Underworld Productions Opera (www.underworldprod.com) will present "Don Pasquale & His Trophy Wife," an interpretation of Donizetti's 1843 opera buffa, in two site-specific locations May 22 to 24. Performances will be Tuesday, May 22 at Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò NYU, 24 W. 12th Street, and Wednesday and Thursday, May 23 and 24, at Abigail Adams Smith Auditorium, 417 E. 61st Street. The work is directed by Artistic Director Gina Crusco, who is amassing much street cred as a "plot doctor" for classical operas. She re-envisions Don Pasquale not as an elderly bachelor but a married man who would throw over his aging Signora and make the beautiful, much younger Norina his "trophy wife." |

Though just 23 years old, pianist Yuja Wang has made an impression on the classical music world and in the Triangle. Huge ovations capped her North Carolina Symphony debut in February 2010, as well as demands for her immediate return. We listened. Don’t miss this rare second chance to see one of music’s breakout talents.

Pacific Chorale — John Alexander, artistic director
Ticheli: Radiant Voices
Beethoven: Symphony No. 9
“Ode to Joy” has thrilled listeners around the world for nearly two centuries. When it premiered in 1824, conducted by Beethoven himself, he heard not a note, so profoundly deaf was he. Nor did he hear the five standing ovations for the most epic choral work ever composed! Frank Tichelli’s “Radiant Voices” provides a sweet choral appetizer.

Lukas dives into the jazz ilk with a jazz-influenced ensemble, the Lukas Ligeti Quintet featuring Leron Thomas (trumpet), Travis Sullivan (sax), Evan Lipson (bass), LL (drums) and TBA (piano). On the program will be new works by Lukas. He most recently explored the jazz realm in his 2011 release of Pattern Time (Innova) which was described as an unusually articulate hybrid of jazz, modern-classical, and African ideas. It “explored[s] incredibly rhythmic juxtaposition as only Ligeti can (The Jazz Session).” |
