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.
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.
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.
Parsons brings the most ambitious production in the history of his 22-year-old dance company to Cleveland. Titled Remember Me, this high-energy mix of contemporary American dance, opera and rock music combines the athleticism of Parsons Dance with an exhilarating live vocal performance by recording artists EVOC (East Village Opera Company).
