SUMMARY:BARN OPERA Presents Puccini's "Tosca"
DESCRIPTION:BARN OPERA presents a performance of Puccini’s “Tosca” at Castleton University on Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Casella Theater. \nSet in Rome at the time of Napoleon’s invasion of Italy\, “Tosca” is a roller coaster story of love\, lust\, murder\, and political intrigue. Carried on the wings of Puccini’s richly romantic score\, “Tosca” is one of the world’s most loved operas. A tragic story of passion and jealousy\, it follows the tempestuous opera singer Floria Tosca as she fights to save her lover Cavaradossi from the sadistic police chief Scarpia. \nBARN OPERA strives to make the joy and beauty of opera accessible and welcoming while operating in a rural community. \nTickets are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and alumni and can be reserved in advance by calling the Casella Box Office at (802) 468-1119 between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or purchased at the door.

SUMMARY:BARN OPERA presents Straus’ Comedy Ariadne auf Naxos
DESCRIPTION:BARN OPERA is thrilled to return to live performance with Richard Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos. Known for innovative takes on masterworks\, this BARN OPERA production will be no exception. Artistic director (Joshua Collier) has a new concept that takes the already comedic opera and turns it on its head\, providing a night of operatic self-deprecation and airing the perennial rivalry between the Operatic and the Musical theatre mediums. While the first act will be sung in colloquial English\, the second act will be in the original German—the first time a German opera will be sung in its original language at BARN OPERA.  \nThe production centers around “The Richest Man in Vermont\,” who\, for a dinner party\, rents out the most spectacular event space in the region—the BARN OPERA House—for which he has commissioned a new opera seria from one of the most famous up-and-coming composers to be premiered. His wife\, however\, hates the opera and much prefers a Broadway review for the evening’s entertainment. \nThe first act sees both groups equally disdainful toward the other\, arguing about which performance would happen first. There are petty insults and witty barbs\, but then the assistant for the “Richest Man in Vermont” announces that rather than two individual shows\, they would combine the shows to create one show\, all to be complete by 10 p.m. With only half an hour to organize and many competing interests—sparks fly\, and hijinks ensue.
