Geronimo is a cranky older man with two daughters\, Carolina and Elisetta. He also has a hearing problem and constantly misunderstands everything he’s told. Carolina has recently married Geronimo’s clerk\, Paolino\, without telling anyone because Geronimo would never have consented. To deal with Geronimo\, Paolino has arranged a match between Elisetta and a wealthy nobleman\, Count Robinson. Geronimo has always envied the nobility so the hope is that Elisetta’s engagement will soften the blow of Carolina’s marriage to Paolino.  At first\, the plan seems like it might actually work\, but then Aunt Fidalma\, Geronimo’s widowed sister\, confesses that she has fallen in love with Paolino! \nShawnette Sulker\, Carolina; Tonia D’Amelia\, Elisetta; Sylvie Jensen\, Fidalma; Michael Desnoyers\, Paolino; Bojan Knezevic\, Geronimo; and Ben Brady\, Count Robinson.  \nTicket price includes pre-concert lecture at 6:30\n\n \n \nProof of completed COVID-19 vaccination\, including at least one booster\, is required\, and masks must be properly worn at all times while on event premises. Though it might exceed official requirements\, this policy is based on current conditions and the results of our most recent audience survey. \n\n \n \n\n\n\nCHOOSE SEATS AND BUY \n\n\n\n \n \nWe caught up with stage director Erin Neff to find out what sort of hilarity she’s plotting this time. Sure enough\, her first words were “This opera will be very\, very funny! Set in the 1950s\, think sketch comedy meets opera. It’s a farce.” \nAsked what drives her choice of setting\, Erin explained that to some extent a modern setting is a practicality in smaller companies\, where an inadequate attempt at a period setting can end up looking amateurish. Also\, she often finds that a more current setting helps bring the story to life\, making it more relatable. We understand car salesman; a land baron\, maybe not so much. \nAs for the music\, Erin says “If you love Mozart you’ll love Cimarosa.” According to one critic\, “Il Matrimonio Segreto has the exciting challenges of Rossini-like vocal lines\, Italian recitative\, and comedic acting. In fact\, it lives as a musical bridge between Mozart and Rossini.” \nSomehow in comedic operas from this era the glorious effervescent music seems to somehow manage to amplify the humor; making for a much-needed evening of vigorous laughter.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\nCHOOSE SEATS AND BUY URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/opera-cimarosa-il-matrimonio-segreto-featuring-lucik-aprahamian-guest-conductor/ LOCATION:Tent Concert Hall\, 45035 Main Street\, Mendocino\, CA\, 95460\, United States CATEGORIES:Classical,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/William_Hogarth_038-1600web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org GEO:39.3052095;-123.7977708 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Tent Concert Hall 45035 Main Street Mendocino CA 95460 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=45035 Main Street:geo:-123.7977708,39.3052095 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180713T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180713T183000 DTSTAMP:20260430T103242 CREATED:20180505T042659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190219T012153Z UID:10002463-1531506600-1531506600@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Pre-Concert Lecture\, Erin Neff 2018 DESCRIPTION:Enhance your experience of this evening’s opera performance with a pre-concert lecture by director Erin Neff. \nMezzo-soprano Erin Neff’s dynamic performance abilities and radiant sound have earned her the veneration of her musical peers and made her an audience favorite throughout the country.

It’s refreshing to see a performance of this style based on pure ability as the dancers are certainly nothing less than virtuosic in their respective styles. The first time I saw Jon and Nathan Pilatzke dancing with Cara Butler was the best thing I’d seen since sliced bread. Having worked with them for the last eight years has been a true tonic for The Chieftains. The StepCrew does not simply draw their audience in\, they take them by the hand and remind us what dance is meant to be about – fun.”- Paddy Moloney\, The Chieftains \nThe StepCrew is a show that very simply\, cannot be missed. The focus\, energy\, and sheer virtuosity on display from the entire cast is nothing short of mind-boggling. I have yet to encounter a dance show of such unique proportions\, seamlessly blending the best of three different percussive styles into what can only be called a tour de force.

I was a young kid sitting in the back of the car listening on my Discman to “California Love (remix)” from Tupac’s masterpiece double-disc album All Eyes On Me (1996). The chorus\, which Roger Troutman sings on talkbox\, is great\, but what really turned me on was the solo he takes at the end of the track. The beat drops out and it’s just Roger wailing away about California and quoting some of his other hit songs. I listened to that over and over again. At the time\, I didn’t know what a talkbox was. I had heard the word “vocoder” before amongst musicians and I thought that that was the sound it made. I imagined Roger speaking into a microphone and making those sounds on the keyboard.

The Octet will be performed by the Festival Chamber Players. \nFestival Chamber Players:\nJay Zhong\, violin\nTammie Dyer\, violin\nDon Ehrlich\, viola\nStephen Harrison\, cello\nMichael Taddei\, contra bass\nEric Kritz\, clarinet\nCarolyn Lockhart\, bassoon\nLarry Lowe\, horn \n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n \n \nUnderstanding Schubert: Affirmations of Individualism\n \nJoin Susan Waterfall and an array of exceptional Festival musicians for three days of lectures and narrated concerts exploring the life and music of Schubert.

Soriano plays steel string bachata with equal parts romance and grit. The Afro-infused rhythm that permeates his music has made him a favorite among dancers. \nThis engagement of Joan Soriano is funded through Southern Exposure: Performing Arts of Latin America\, a program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. \nDescribing its music as ukulele-powered Hawaiian reggae folk rock\, Kanekoa has been playing together since 1999\, melding elements of Hawaiian\, rock\, folk\, blues\, reggae and improvisation into a truly unique sound. Because their sound is based on the yet untapped potential of the electrified Hawaiian ukulele\, inspired by the range of musical tastes of its players\, and shaped by the land and culture of Hawai’i\, Kanekoa has discovered a land of limitless musical possibility.
