♦ Holiday Sparkle Singers at North Straub Park
PERFORMED AT
OPERA CENTRAL
2145 1st Ave South
St. Petersburg, FL 33712
Our holiday extravaganza is extra special this season with a festive double feature and the lush sounds of our 20-piece orchestra. The program begins with a full-staged production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors.
This beloved one-act opera in English has a heartwarming message that resonates with people of all ages. The second part of our presentation includes our world-class singers performing an array of holiday music, from the sacred to the popular and everything in between.
Our theme for Season 17 is a timely one as the great powers struggle on the world stage.
Our three mainstage operas feature the struggles of three very different women. What price will they pay for the freedom of their loved ones as they scheme, deceive, and kill to achieve it?
In Tosca, politics and intrigue swirl around a famous diva as she tries to free her lover from a tyrannical police chief. A wife disguises herself as a man to liberate her husband from prison in Fidelio. The heroine of L’Italiana in Algeri is a clever enchantress who must trick her way to free herself, her fiancé, and her people.
What would you sacrifice?
