Many accomplished singers from New England audition annually for the choruses of Opera Maine. The chorus members for this year's opera, Aida, have been selected by chorus master Virgil Bozeman; vocal coach Mary Letellier; and chorus manager Marguerite Prentice, (pictured here, L-R) under the guidance of artistic director Dona D. Vaughn and conductor Israel Gursky. Chris Staknys, pianist, accompanied auditions. Stay tuned as Opera Maine will soon be announcing the singers of Aida's grand 50+member chorus! #operamaine #opera #Aida #thearts #mainearts #verdi #operachorus #operachorusaudition

Spoiler alert - Aida is one of the few operatic sopranos to survive the opera!........ JK... April Fools! 😆 Get your tickets now to find out what really happens! https://www.operamaine.org/tickets/ #Aida #verdi #opera #mainearts #operamaine #diva #AprilFools #aprilfools #AprilFoolsDay #aprilfoolsjoke #sopranos #soprano #sopranolife

Visit the California Gold Rush of the 1800s with La fanciulla del West (Girl of the Golden West)! As part of Opera Maine's series, the film will be shown on Saturday, April 6 at 1 pm (doors open at 12:30) at Lunt Auditorium on the campus of OceanView at Falmouth. Lorin Maazel conducts a fine cast, featuring Placido Domingo, Mara Zampieri, Juan Pons, and more, in Jonathan Miller's 1991 production of the compelling and evocative opera, which Puccini himself considered his best work. The opera includes ruthless bandits, rough-talking but goodhearted miners, a cynical sheriff, and one remarkable female tavern-keeper -- it tells a tale of love, money, and betrayal that is as thrilling as any cinema Western, wrapped in an unmistakably Italian score. Tickets are $15. For more information, view https://www.operamaine.org/events/film-series/ or contact Opera Maine at (207) 879-7678 (or [email protected]). #opera #thearts #puccini #lascala #operamaine

Among the spectacular array of performances will be a semi-staged production of “La Bohème” with Opera Maine and the PSO in January 2025.

The musical community in Portland is so extraordinary, and there’s no reason to be isolated.” #operamaine #portlandsymphony #opera #laboheme https://www.pressherald.com/2024/01/29/portland-symphony-orchestra-to-celebrate-100th-season-with-yo-yo-ma/

XIX), Carmen, uma cigana linda e fascinante, causa um alvoroço na fábrica de cigarros onde trabalhava e acaba sendo presa por Don José. Carmen, portanto, seduz o militar, prometendo amar Don José em troca de sua liberdade. O militar libera Carmen e acaba sendo preso por causa disso. Após dois meses, ele encontra novamente Carmen no meio de contrabandistas. Don José, então, deserta o exército para ganhar o amor de Carmen. Porém, acaba ficando obcecado por ela e começa a segui-la cheio de ciúmes. Carmen e Don José vivem um lindo amor, mas com o crescer do ciúmes do seu parceiro, Carmen o rejeita. Micaela, que já era noiva de Don José desde o começo da ópera, tenta retomar o juízo de seu noivo e o convence a retornar para casa, já que a mãe dele estava morrendo. Contudo, Don José encontra Carmen pela última vez na arena de Sevilha. Enquanto Carmen está esperando seu novo amor, o toureador Escamillo, Don José tenta convencê-la a ir embora com ele. Desesperado, Don José implora para Carmen e a ameaça, mesmo assim ela o recusa, clamando que ou ele a mata ou a deixa seguir livre. Ele, então, a esfaqueia, confessando seus crimes diante da multidão 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀 💃T A G S💃 #carmen #opera #bizet #mezzosoprano #mystyle #memories #orchestrapit #lipring #louisvilleorchestra #feelings #chorus #funnyaf #work #puccini #emotional #carmen #georgebizet #denalicoven #operamaine #fanart #operalover

FLYING meets FRYING! In celebration for Richard Wagner’s The FLYING Dutchman, The FRYING Dutchman will feature Lobster Croquettes this week. . The FLYING Dutchman is an Isreal Gursky and Dona D. Vaughn production. . For tickets: OperaMaine.org or (207) 842-0800 . The FLYING Dutchman Opera at @merrillauditorium July 27th and 29th 7:30pm . The FRYING Dutchman Lobster Croquette Special at @fryingdutchmanportland July 26-29th 11-6:00pm . The opera will be sung in German with projected English translation. Two acts with intermission. . This legendary epic depicts a cursed captain of a ghost ship, searching for true love and the devoted woman who can redeem him. A violent storm erupts and dashes the Dutchman and his spectral crew along the coast of Maine, where Senta awaits, longing to save him. Wagner’s powerful music evokes the sea and conveys the intense emotions at the core of this supernatural drama. @operamaine has collaborated with @mainemaritimemuseum to present a 19th-century coastal Maine setting. . . . . . . . . #richardwagner #operamaine #merrilauditorium #operahouse #operasingers #theflyingdutchman #theflyingdutchmanopera #thefryingdutchman #fryingdutchman #portland #portlandme #portlandmaine #portlandmainefood #portlandmainefoodie #portlandmefood #portlandmefoodie #portlandfood #portlandfoodie #portlandfoodies #portlandeats #portlandpride #portlandlocal #portlandlife #portlandeater #foodie #foodies #foodstagram #foodhall
