Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2015 8:20 pm
For you Mozart fans who might happen to be in Los Angeles in the next few days, here’s a treat:
"Pacific Opera Project boldly goes where no opera company has gone before in a Star Trek-themed production of Abduction from the Seraglio.
One of Mozart’s most impressive scores, Die Entführung aus dem Serail is filled with vocal fireworks featuring some of the most thrilling arias and ensembles in all of opera. A new English libretto…takes the action from an 18th-century harem in Turkey and places it at 'Stardate 1420.27 on the hereto unexplored planet M113'."
Here's the YouTube preview.
I’m going to see this on Friday. I’ll let you know what I think.
