The King &
I |
A Concert Performance at The
Plaza Arts Center at Eatonton, Georgia Starring Leslie Denniston as Anna Directed by Baayork Lee Conducted by Kevin Farrell Atlanta Pops Orchestra, John Head, Music Director OPAS Festival & Children's Chorus, Neal Dolvin, Chorus Master |
OPAS, in cooperation with The National Asian Artists Project (NAAP), will light up the stage on October 17th & 18th with the magic of Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King & I in a concert performance at The Plaza Arts Center in Eatonton. The King & I opened on Broadway in 1951, the sixth collaboration for the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. It ran for 1,246 performances, won the Tony for Best Musical, and spawned numerous revivals and a popular 1956 film version. A sumptuous feast of voices telling the story of the Welsh widow Anna Leonowens who goes to Bangkok to teach the Royal children and becomes an advisor to the King of Siam. With a rich musical score and idiomatic lyrics, this is one of Rogers & Hammerstein's best. One of the musical highlights is "Shall We Dance", one of the best-written scenes in all musical theatre.

Antony and
Cleopatra  |
About the Opera
New York City Opera celebrates the centennial of the birth of
the great American composer Samuel Barber with concert performances of his
masterwork Antony and Cleopatra at Carnegie Hall on January 15th and 16th,
2009. Barber ranked this work among his finest and it remains highly regarded
for its melodic richness, striking characterizations, and brilliant
orchestration.
The radiant soprano Lauren Flanigan sings the role of
Cleopatra, adding to her unique City Opera gallery of colorful American opera
heroines including Susan B. Anthony in The Mother of Us All, Abigail Borden in
Lizzie Borden, Christine in Mourning Becomes Electra, and the title role of
Barber's Vanessa, in which she triumphed last season. Teddy Tahu Rhodes, a
striking baritone from New Zealand, makes his City Opera debut as Antony and
the rising dramatic tenor Simon O'Neill returns to the company to sing Caesar.
The cast also includes City Opera favorites David Pittsinger as Enobarbus,
Sandra Piques Eddy as Charmian, and Laura Vlasak Nolen as Iras. City Opera
Music Director George Manahan leads the New York City Opera orchestra and
chorus in what is sure to be one of the musical highlights of the season.
