This is a revival of the Natalie Dessay Laurent Pelly production reviewed here. This time around it will star Brenda Rae and Michael Fabiano.
Marriage of Figaro will star Susanna Phillips as La Contessa.
Schon wieder Rossini--La Donna del Lago will star Joyce DiDonato and Lawrence Brownlee. She has triumphed in Paris, Milan and Geneva in this role, and Santa Fe has aced out the other American companies for this performance. Does it help that she lives in Santa Fe? Sorry. More insider gossip. I will have to see this if I can. [Schon wieder means already again. For some reason I could not explain you say "schon wieder" quite a lot and almost never "already again."]
The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein by Offenbach is an operetta which will be sung in French with English spoken dialog. The Duchess will be sung by Susan Graham.
This leaves the new opera Oscar by Theodore Morrison, a composer with whom I am unacquainted. It will star David Daniels and is about Oscar Wilde. One of our Road Scholar colleagues has attended a run-through of the first act and enjoyed it.
