Tickets now on sale for OWR’s ‘Carmen’
YOUNGSTOWN
Tickets are now on sale for Opera Western Reserve’s Nov. 11 production of Bizet’s “Carmen.”
Tickets range from $25 to $75 and are available at the Stambaugh box office (open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays), by phone at 330-259-0555 and online at operawesternreserve.org.
“Carmen is one of the most popular and accessible operas for the first time opera-goer,” said David Vosburgh, artistic director of OWR. “Both the story and the music are exciting and people would be surprised how much of the music is already familiar to them. If you have any curiosity about opera, this is an ideal opportunity to satisfy it.”
This will be the first year that Vosburgh will not be the stage director of OWR’s annual production. That duty will instead fall to Scott Skiba, director of Cleveland Opera Theater. Rhea Olivacce will make her OWR debut in the title role.
Susan Davenny Wyner will again serve as music director .
Singing Star vocal competition winner
BOARDMAN
Ethan Hess was the winner of the Mahoning Valley Singing Star vocal completion. The competition, sponsored by the Kids First Theater Initiative, was April 30 at Trinity Fellowship Church.
Hess performed the song “Somebody to Love,” originally sung by Freddy Mercury of the ’70s rock band Queen. He won a cash prize, vocal lessons with Rick Blackson and a recording session with Mainsail Music.
Other winners were Ally Grande, Bailey Conley, Maddison Kutsch, Mia Bordonaro and Adrianna Quinlan, who were presented with framed plaques. Judges were local cabaret performers Mary Jo Maluso and Rick Blackson.
All contestants in the competition have been offered roles in Kids First’s production of “The Wizard of Oz,” which will be in October, as well as scholarships to the company’s four-week theater camp later this summer.
