Let Opera Discover You Opera Philadelphia brings new works to the stage and the streets. pera Philadelphia believes that soaring music and exciting productions don’t have to be tethered to a performance hall. Above: a scene from The Magic Flute Below: the audience at Opera on the Mall 1420 locust street suite 210 philadelphia, pa 215.893.3600 operaphila.org 112 march 2013 Audiences can experience new, cutting-edge operatic works on both the stage and the streets in the City of Brotherly Love. April 19–28, Opera Philadelphia presents Mozart’s dazzling masterpiece The Magic Flute at the spectacular Academy of Music. The more intimate Perelman Theater hosts Powder Her Face, a bawdy work by composer Thomas Adès, June 7–16. Opera Philadelphia is also taking culture outdoors. “Opera can discover you right where you are,” says general director and president David B. Devan. “We are committed to bringing opera into our city via surprise pop-up performances in iconic Philadelphia locations.” Another outdoor favorite is the annual HD broadcast of opening night. This year, a large usairwaysmag.com audience on Independence Mall will be treated to a free screening of Verdi’s Nabucco on September 28. The company’s American Repertoire Program has multiple new operas under commission by American composers, including Ricky Ian Gordon’s A Cofﬁn in Egypt. This one-woman show, opening June 2014, will star one of the music world’s most-beloved figures, mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade. Future plans also include new operas based on the life of Oscar Wilde and the novel Cold Mountain, as well as a coproduction of Salome with the Philadelphia Orchestra in Verizon Hall. Inside and out, Opera Philadelphia continues to connect with audiences in new and powerful ways. photos (from top) by gary beechey for canadian opera company and courtesy of opera philadelphia O By NaNcy Oakley http://www.operaphila.org http://www.operaphila.org http://www.usairwaysmag.com
