WHERE THE WORLD STOPS TO LISTEN
A HIT SEASON OF COMEDY, TRAGEDY, ROMANCE AND REVENGE
– Francesca Zambello, Artistic & General Director

Experience for yourself all the music, laughter, romance and drama of our 2016 season. Four powerful stories told through music explore the range of human emotion: Rossini’s obscure bel canto comedy, The Thieving Magpie; Sondheim’s modern musical thriller, Sweeney Todd; Puccini’s wildly popular and lush romance, La bohème; and Robert Ward’s Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy, The Crucible, a timeless and important work that addresses dark undercurrents of American society. Our original stagings and world-class performers bring new revelations to every production.

running time: two hours and 50 minutes “It reminds me an awful lot of a crazy show I did at Glimmerglass some years back, Offenbach’s Bluebeard, an operetta about the guy who killed off all of his wives – although in Offenbach’s version they didn’t actually die but were hidden away in a bunker, Kimmy Schmidt-style. Sondheim and Offenbach’s zany, gory pieces both play a brilliant balancing act between Gothic horror and biting social satire, stripping away the hypocritical mask which hides the reality of our dog-eat-dog – or in Sweeney’s case, man-eat-man – societal structures and craftily employing musical comedy and operetta techniques to achieve their marvelously subversive ends.” – Christopher Alden, director

The fact that salvation comes in this case from a magpie (that occasionally talks) makes this all the more breathtaking…will Ninetta survive or won’t she? The deus ex machina from the animal kingdom adds just the right touch of spice and humor to this darkly thrilling tale. Add in Rossini’s spectacular vocal writing, gorgeous melodies and one of the most famous overtures ever, and this is sure to be an exciting performance.” – Peter Kazaras, director

Throughout history we have seen how, in a climate of fear and mistrust, innuendo can take on the force of fact, resulting in the persecution of innocent people. Arthur Miller dramatized the 17th-century trials when he saw history repeating itself during the ‘Red Scare’ of the 1950s. It is not a pretty story, but it’s an important one – I think it’s important for us to remind ourselves that an accumulation of seemingly minor words and actions can take society to a point of no return.” – Francesca Zambello, director

Following the huge success of Glimmerglass’ first youth opera – last season’s world premiere of Ben Moore and Kelley Rourke’s Odyssey – the company has commissioned a new youth opera by Laura Karpman and Kelley Rourke that weaves together two engaging fairy tales by Oscar Wilde. The Remarkable Rocket shows how one fiery fellow’s arrogance is tamed; The Happy Prince is a story of selfless devotion. By turns touching and hilarious, Wilde Tales is a story of finding beauty where you least expect it. Performed at the intimate barn theater at the Cooperstown Theatre Festival just south of Glimmerglass, it features the Glimmerglass Youth Chorus and members of the Young Artists Program. Presented in English. Running time: one hour The commissioning of Laura Karpman for Wilde Tales received funding from OPERA America’s Opera Grants for Female Composers program, supported by the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation.
