There are two exciting events in opera this week and the diva will be at both.
On Wednesday, the University Musical Society is presenting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pierre Boulez. The program will include Maurice Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin(1917), Marc-André Dalbavie's Flute Concerto (2006), and a concert preformance of Béla Bartók’s one-act opera, Bluebeard’s Castle. The part of Judith will be sung by Michelle DeYoung, and Bluebeard will be sung by Falk Struckmann. The preformance is part of a month-long celebration of the conductors 85th birthday.
The preformance will take place at 8:00PM at the Hill Auditorium of Ann Arbor. There are still tickets left in the $48-$100 price range, and student rush tickets will be available on the day of the performance at the Michigan League box office for $10 between 9:00AM and 5:00PM, and at the door for $15 at 7:30.
This Saturday and Sunday, Arbor Opera Theatre will be presenting Henry Purcell's Dido and Æneas. Local talant Kara Alfano will be singing the role of Dido, and University of Michigan graduate student Jesse Enderle will be singing the part of Æneas.
The preformances will take place at 8:00 Saturday evening and 3:00 Sunday afternoon at the First United Methodist Church of Ann Arbor. Tickets are $20, $15 for students and seniors, and $30 for prime seating, which includes a libretto. Credit cards will not be accepted at the door. There are no assigned seats, so arrive early to get a good spot.
