THE BUZZ:
Opera lovers of Chicago were invited to choose an opera for performance by COT in 2010. Mosè in Egitto garnered the most votes—making it the People’s Opera Winner!
THE HISTORY:
There has only been one performance of Mosè in Egitto in Chicago — in 1863 at the McVicker’s Theatre on Madison and State. Be part of this historic second performance in Chicago, when COT presents the U.S. premiere of Charles Brauner and Philip Gossett’s new edition of the opera.
THE HIGHLIGHT:
Yes, you’ll see Moses part the Red Sea. But you’ll also hear what some consider Rossini’s most beautiful music in the prayer “Dal tuo stellato soglio” (”From Thy starry throne“) sung by Andrea Concetti as Mosè, Manuela Bisceglie as Elcia, and supported by a chorus of 20 young singers playing the Hebrews and Egyptians. (Sung in Italian with English supertitles).
Conductor:
Leonardo Vordoni
Director:
Andrew Eggert
All performances are at 7:30pm except Sunday April 25 at 3pm.
