Youth Opera Company presents: Una Giornata

Description

This spring, OCM's Youth Opera will be performing a semi-staged, imaginative retelling of the beloved 24 Italian Songs & Arias, the repertoire book that has launched generations of opera singers around the world. In this inventive adaptation, each of the 24 songs represents an hour in a single day in the life of the Donati family, five years after the story of Gianni Schicchi, which folks may remember from the Middlebury Opera Company's Young Artist Program production last year!

Directed by Sarah Cullins and led from the piano by YOC Music Director Mary Jane Austin, Una giornata is the culminating project of YOC's spring semester after-school program. This year's cast of 13 young artists represents eight local schools, including Mt. Abraham Union High School and Middlebury Union High School.
