FORT LEE, NJ, March 12, 2014 (Press-News.org) The New Jersey Association of Verismo Opera (Verismo Opera) invites the public to celebrate its 25th anniversary year with the new Bring the Family to the Opera program. To launch the program, the only grand opera company in Bergen County, New Jersey is offering several special ticket offers for children, senior citizens, and individuals to see the company's performance of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata on Sunday, April 6, 3:00 p.m., at the Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC), located at 30 North Van Brunt Street, in Englewood, New Jersey.
As arts programs continue to be eliminated in schools or opera education cut from the curriculum, exposing children and their extended families to the wonders of grand opera is a priority of Verismo Opera's program. "Our Bring the Family to the Opera program has the goals of introducing people to grand, traditional opera and keeping this art form alive. This program provides our productions locally at the Bergen Performing Arts Center and makes them accessible and affordable for extended families and their children through special discount ticket offers," said Lucine Amara, Artistic Director.
Under Amara, one of the Metropolitan Opera's luminary performers, Verismo Opera will observe its 25th season, Vive la France, with the beautiful production La Traviata in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Verdi's birth. Set in the backdrop of Paris, France, this love story, shrouded in sacrifice and misunderstanding, will unfold on the stage under the direction of Stage Director and Canadian soprano Evelyn La Quaif.
The fully staged production will be presented with the cast singing in Italian. English supertitles will be provided.
A live orchestra will perform under the baton of Principal Conductor/Music Director Anthony Morss. Chorus Director Mara Waldman will direct the Verismo Opera Chorus. The cast will perform in period costumes designed by Catherine Mirabella and Barbara Konig.
