Santa Cruz Memorial Veterans Hall

Bay Shore Lyric Opera will present two performances of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera Cosi fan Tutte, running on September 29th & 30th, 2018 as part of their 2018 season at the beautiful Veterans Memorial Hall of Santa Cruz, 846 Front St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060. This production is fully-staged with orchestra, sung in Italian with English dialogue and will feature BSLO’s artists under the baton of Michael DiGiacinto@.

Subtitled “The School for Lovers,” Cosi fan Tutte is a probing look into romantic relationships and their endurance with temptation. It starts out with a cynical older gentleman's bet to Ferrando and Gulgielmo (two officers) that their two beautiful young fiance's can’t remain faithful to their fiancés when they are deployed for war. As the intrigue deepens, Ferrando and Guglielmo disguise themselves as handsome Albanian tourists and attempt to court the young women’s affections. The couples’ feelings reveal themselves through this Mozart masterpiece and his brilliant librettist, Da Ponte. Funny, comical scenes develop and bring about a surprising final twist.

Bay Shore Lyric Opera’s artists perform with West Bay Opera, Opera San Jose and other Bay Area companies. Cast members include: Jennifer Studley, Liliane Cromer, Michael Orlinsky, J.t. Williams , Kristin Genis-Lund & Norman Espinoza. The production will be sung in Italian and will include English supertitles & English dialogue in place of recitative.
