Carmina Burana
Soprano Soloist
May 17, 2009 at 3:00pm
Master Chorale of Washington
Carl Orrf’s wildly popular and instantly recognizable Carmina Burana is a masterful blending of ancient Latin texts with visceral rhythms and haunting harmonies, evoking images of ritualistic dance and ribald frolicking that will awaken and arouse your senses. This intoxicating work is a not-to-be missed musical experience that is sure to be a sellout.

The Crane Wife
Voice of the Crane / Wife
April 4, 2009 at 7:00pm
Atlas Performing Arts Center
Lab Theater #2
Open seating, free admission!
A reading of a new musical based on the Japanese folk tale, The Crane Wife, by playwright Richard Rashke. This event is intended to coincide with the celebration of the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
The Crane Wife is an old Japanese tale about a poor man who finds an injured crane outside his home that has been struck in the wing by an arrow. He takes it in and nurses it back to health. After he releases the crane, a woman appears at his doorstep with whom he falls in love and marries. Because they need money, his wife offers to weave wondrous clothes out of silk that they can sell at the market, but only if he agrees never to watch her making them.
They begin to sell them and live a comfortable life, but he soon makes her weave them more and more. Oblivious to his wife's diminishing health, his greed increases. He eventually peeks in to see what she is doing to make the silk she weaves so desirable. He is shocked to discover that at the loom is a crane plucking feathers from her own body and weaving them into the loom. The crane, seeing him, flies away and never returns. |

Orpheus in the Underworld
Minerva
April 11, 13, 17, 19 2008
Opera Vivente
Baltimore, Maryland
Image. Is there anything more important in today’s media driven world? Over a hundred years ago, Jacques Offenbach asked the same question in an uproarious and satirical take on the ancient legend of Orpheus. Elements of soap opera, celeb-reality, and televangelism jostle for supremacy in Opera Vivente's production, all under the imperious eye of Public Opinion. Offenbach’s score is chock-full of energetic and hilarious music including the only duet ever written for a soprano and a fly culminating in the famous cancan. A delightfully guilty pleasure!
