Opera Philadelphia’s 41st Season is a vivid representation of the contemporary, the classic, and the modern—a journey through three well-established works and two strikingly new American productions at once grand and intimate, innovative and familiar. A season that grabs your soul and never quite lets go thanks to elite voices, unforgettable staging, and the tender, human thread that connects it all. A season as we’ve seen it in both our memories and our wish lists and now, we share with you.

The East Coast Premiere of the highly anticipated Cold Mountain will have you pining with Inman and sobbing with Ada thanks to Philadelphia’s own Jennifer Higdon’s debut operatic adaptation of the National Book Award-winning novel. Tainted love turns pure in a midcentury rendition of Verdi’s cherished La traviata, summoned by Lisette Oropesa’s haunting yet thoroughly modern Violetta and Alek Shrader’s Alfredo in their company and role debuts. Rising stars and Curtis Institute of Music graduates Sarah Shafer and Christopher Tiesi give the color and shape of the 1940s to Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love. And in a stunning debut, the World Premiere of ANDY: A Popera explores the intersection of opera with devised theatre and Warholian art, questioning the very separation of art and audience . All singular productions, yet all bettering one another for the exquisite company they keep. Perhaps our entire 41st Season could be themed as the Curtis Opera Theatre production of Capriccio makes clear: between the song, the word, and the drama itself, what woos the heart most is the way we make them all entirely our own.

Join us in the breadth and color of a life lived in opera.

in verdi’s classic work, Parisian courtesan violetta

surrenders her last hope of personal happiness for

the sake of her lover alfredo’s reputation. though she

is a “fallen woman,” verdi’s empathetic and vivid score

maintains her dignity and the audience’s compassion.

daring production choices encourage modernity and

tradition to collide via a golden-hued Baroque stage

and a midcentury fashion sensibility. this bold setting

creates a unique canvas upon which to experience

an unforgettable La traviata.

soprano Lisette Oropesa, hailed as “irresistible” and “magnetic” by

The New York Times, makes her opera Philadelphia and role debut as

violetta, the woman who risks everything for the man of her dreams, alfredo

(tenor alek shrader in his opera Philadelphia and role debut). standing in

the way of their happiness are society’s mores, espoused by alfredo’s father,

Giorgio (baritone stephen powell).

this lush new production is directed by paul curran, an outstanding

artist who has collaborated with great opera companies all over the world.

Fatigued by the horrors of the Civil War, deserter

W.P. inman foots the arduous terrain of north Carolina

toward home and the salve of his love, ada Monroe,

herself transformed by his absence. once a southern

lady of privilege, ada adapts to years of profound

deprivation thanks to a resourceful new friend, ruby.

inman’s odyssey home is plagued by not only the Home

Guard’s marshals, but a more gruesome possibility: has

the war’s violence withered his human capacity to love?

and further, what truly makes a man a human?

opera Philadelphia takes particular pride in this assemblage of firsts: the first

opera written by Philadelphia-based composer Jennifer higdon, winner of

the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Music, and the piece’s east Coast Premiere. the opera

is based on the national Book award-winning novel by Charles Frazier, and

features a libretto by gene scheer (Moby-Dick; An American Tragedy). opera

Philadelphia’s own american repertoire Council director nathan gunn sings

inman, and is regarded as one of the most exciting and in-demand baritones

today. Mezzo-soprano isabel Leonard, who will sing the role of ada, is a 2014

Grammy award winner and recipient of the 2013 richard tucker award. tenor

Jay hunter morris, who creates the role of the villainous teague, has been

in the international spotlight for his portrayal of siegfried in the Metropolitan opera’s production of Wagner’s ring Cycle.

this production of strauss’s beloved allegory Capriccio

stages one of life’s classic conundrums: is music or

poetry the lifeblood of humanity? the young, widowed

Countess Madeleine is torn between two suitors, the

poet olivier and the composer Flamand, both of whom

vie for her hand with their considerable, yet entwined,

skills. While olivier’s words stir the heart and mind,

Flamand’s notes and strings make them soar…or is it

the other way around? a plan unfolds: an opera within

the opera that will woo Madeleine to answer this

artistic conundrum once and for all.

Guarantee your seats to what Opera News hailed as “must-see events for

serious operagoers” with sold-out shows two years running. the annual

co-production from Curtis opera theatre, opera Philadelphia, and the

kimmel Center for the Performing arts speaks to our forward-looking approach

to opera, with dynamic stagings of adventurous repertoire. the series will

mark its ninth season with this progressive production of Capriccio, the final

opera by great German composer richard strauss.

a truly magic brew, or just a bottle of snake oil?

The Elixir of Love (L’elisir d’amore), set in the 1940s

italian countryside in this charming production from

the santa Fe opera, is a delight for all lovers of

19th-century italian bel canto. Poor, oil-soaked auto

mechanic nemorino is in love with the wealthy adina,

but she only has eyes for the striking sergeant Belcore.

enter pinstriped dr. dulcamara, a quack who woos

nemorino with a promise: drink the elixir and adina

will fall in love with nemorino within a day. But, does

this strange tincture really work?

a musical mélange inspired by the life, fame, and

philosophy of andy Warhol—ANDY: A Popera is, like

its eponymous hero, a fabulous collision of the high

and low, the commercial and the artistic, the traditional

and the innovative. it is a work that explodes onto the

stage–and sparks out into the audience, presenting

singing soup cans, Marilyns, and a randy banana

on stage with contemporary versions of Warhol

superstars valerie solanas, Candy darling, and edie

sedgwick. it’s an artistic collision exploring what

Warhol has become today. What happens when a

man becomes a brand?

A M A S h U P O F c A B A R e T A N d O P e R A

ANDY: A Popera explores the contemporary phenomenon that is Warhol.

it constitutes a radical new collaboration both in form and process, hailed

as “strange, smart and entertaining” by The Philadelphia Inquirer, “brave

and intriguing” by Philadelphia City Paper, and named “Best of Philly”

by Philadelphia Magazine!
