Georgia Southern Opera presents a Trick and a Treat

CLASS_OperaBreveVII_900x900The Georgia Southern Opera presents “Opera Breve VII: Trick AND Treat!鈥 This year’s double bill is the Opera鈥檚 seventh annual installment of the popular “Opera Breve” series and is comprised of two American one-act operas, Gian Carlo Menotti鈥檚 鈥淭he Medium鈥 and William Bolcom鈥檚 鈥淟ucrezia.鈥 Performances will take place on Friday, Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 18, at 3 p.m., in the Emma Kelly Theatre at the Averitt Center for the Arts, 33 E. Main Street. Admission to the event聽is free. Just in time for the Halloween season, 鈥淭he Medium鈥 is guaranteed to give you chills. Madame Flora, a charlatan fortune-teller, experiences something unexplainable and horrifying during a s茅ance. Her subsequent descent into delirium and madness ends in unspeakable tragedy. Written in 2008, 鈥淟ucrezia鈥 is a relatively new and unknown work and a rare treat for opera audiences. It was favorably reviewed in The New York Times and was mentioned for its 鈥渆clectic score featuring tango, bullfighting music, a Straussian waltz and jazz.鈥 鈥溾楾he Medium鈥 has become a popular classic in American opera, and 鈥楲ucrezia鈥 is guaranteed to do the same. I have never laughed so hard as I did when I listened to 鈥楲ucrezia鈥 for the first time,鈥 said director Arikka Gregory, D.M.A., assistant professor of voice. Gregory promises a night you won鈥檛 forget.
