2010-2011 SEASON

Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti   Ruthless family politics deny Lucia her true love, breaking both her heart and her mind. But from the depths of madness and tragedy comes some of opera's most riveting bel canto singing. Tomer Zvulun (La boheme, 2008) returns to Cleveland to direct a thrilling new production, with striking sets adapted specifically for Opera Cleveland.   Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 7:30 pm Saturday, May 22, 2010 at 8 pm   Sunday, May 23, 2010 at 2 pm The Pearl Fishers by Georges Bizet   The arrival of a mysterious woman to a pearl fishers' island camp challenges the bond between two men. What will prevail--the fidelity of friendship or the unrelenting strength of love? Lush melodies, vibrant orchestration and evocative choreography frame Bizet's “other" masterpiece in Grand Opera style.   Thursday, Sept. 23, 2010 at 7:30 pm Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010 at 8 pm Sunday, Sept. 26, 2010 at 2 pm I Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo   La voix humaine by Francis Poulenc   A visceral meeting of two Italian and French extremes.  I Pagliacci presents a “bleeding slice of life," a verismo tour-de-force fraught with lurid, emotional turmoil. In La voix humaine, the torment and despair of a jilted lover emerges in an enthralling monologue. Thursday, Nov. 11, 2010 at 7:30 pm Saturday, Nov. 13, 2010 at 8 pm Sunday, Nov. 14, 2010 at 2 pm Werther by Jules Massenet   Dutiful Charlotte is torn by her love for intense poet Werther (ver-TARE) and her commitment to another man. Massenet's sumptuous score dramatically sets Goethe's novel with Puccini-esque orchestration in a rare opportunity to see this French masterpiece.
