A Preview of Candide
A satirical novella by Voltaire meets a dazzling score by Leonard Bernstein in this 1956 operetta. The naïvely optimistic Candide sets out to explore the world, beset by an endless series of disasters, including war, an earthquake, and a shipwreck.
By turns funny, philosophical, and deeply moving, Candide mixes human foibles, supernatural catastrophes, and earthly adversity into a thoroughly entertaining whole. Come hear Bernstein’s legendary score, full of witty lyrics, romantic longing, and the greatest finale in all opera.
Come see Candide at Overture Hall on April 26 & 28. More information at www.madisonopera.org/candide/.

Madison Opera in 2023
zhlédnutí 184Před 6 měsíci
Madison Opera went on some incredible journeys in 2023. From Bernstein and Weill to Mozart and Puccini, from a “ballet chanté” to a revolutionary 18th century masterpiece and a scandalous Italian melodrama, it was a year that traversed the range of opera. We experienced many magical moments, but our favorite part was the smiles and excitement that came from sharing beautiful music with you. Tha...

Limmie Pulliam Sings Nessun Dorma - Madison Opera in 2022
damn.. Tonio scared me!
honestly, are you deaf or something?! this is such a mediocre voice and performance
wtf stupid video
I performed in that as one of the church boys!! Honestly it was really fun, great experience joining it as part of myc. This show really inspired me to keep acting because ive always liked the idea of it but never saw it as a career until this show. Anyways thanks again for giving me a great time and inspiring me to grow up to do something i love.
They were AMAZING on the 26th! Thank you guys
So beautiful! Thank you.
Please note composer/librettist Miguel Bulteau of Portugal. I had the privilege of doing some vocal demos for his opera "Majora's Mask." Miguel's writing may remind one of the opera composer: Hector Berlioz. One may watch Mr. Bulteau actually composing live via a full opera score on CZcams during certain hours.
real singing is here czcams.com/video/zDi4qrhY2rc/video.html&pp=ygULcG9sIHBsYW5jb24%3D
Fellow Travelers, premiered in 2016, is an opera with music by Gregory Spears and libretto by Greg Pierce. It is based on the 2007 novel by Thomas Mallon. Surely this basic information could have been posted? (The same novel was of course the source for the later 8-episode limited TV series on Showtime, starring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey.)
The costumes and the make up and the hair were all so exquisite and so much fun to view.
Remember that Joseph Bologne was a Frenchman of mixed-race and NOT "Black." Nothing about his culture was "Black."
Thank you! Precious and educational post.
Karen might be the wig designer, but Kelly Zipperer is the hairstylist who actually did all the wigs. Check them out when you're at the opera. She did an amazing job.
Wow she's very full of herself, she's not an independent woman she comes from a family of privilege, including Kenneth Biller he made lots of money off of filing fraudulent government reports and ruining lives, no one in that family is kind.
Kathrine always does an entertaining and scholarly presentation. Grateful!
Beautiful Bella voche !
🤣 *Promo sm*
I really enjoyed these scenes and explanations from Tosca. The principals are charming!
Can’t say for sure it’s inherently my fave opera, but it has given me at least two or three of the most powerful & stunning moments of theater in my life - in both LA & Milan.
What a delightful presentation.... thank you, Kathryn! Can't wait for the performance!

Not sure why this appeared in my feed, but cool random knowledge to know. Thanks!
You're welcome. Now expect the algorithm to send you non-stop opera content!
I've got tickets to hear him in a couple of weeks and I hadn't heard his singing before. I came here to check it out. I'm TWICE as excited now!! :)

I am moved to tears, Thank you.
I will share this with Mary Pless. 😁
Bravo !!!
I've just discovered this wonderful tenor. Such a beautiful voice
Beautiful, wonderful tenor voice...cool his initials are L.P. like Luciano Pavarotti (my parents had his album on all the time when I was a kid).
omg! Thank you NYT AND Limmie Pulliam
I am in tears. Bravissimo!
Limmie Pulliam is incredible. What an amazing talent!
Bravo !
I read the article about him in today's NYT and had to hear this again. Chills, again!
Then you better bundle up for next season, because it's going to be very chilly!
What a splendid performance! What a moving song! The emptiness of the theater is so eerie. Why doesn't Madison perform a Hoiby opera. He's from Stoughton, after all -- went to UWM, product of their great post-war music department. Madison Opera ought to consider his Tempest, or even the unproduced Romeo and Juliet.
Bravo!!!!
Thanks for a great preview, Kathryn! Can't wait to see this pairing... I'm sure it will be great!
I have not enjoyed a performance of the song since Pavarotti. BRAVO!!!!
Do try the Jussi Bjorling recordings on CZcams. I was stunned.
CHAOS
Ti conoscevo a Iowa City quando studiavo canto nel 1992 (?). Un caro saluto da Firenze.
OMG THAT beautiful voice
Thanks for listening.
Hilarious and informative, not necessarily in that order
Beautiful enjoyed very much ❤😊 Bravo
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great program, Kathryn..... and how nice to have it available on CZcams for future viewing! Maybe you can do the next one from Lotusland?!
I appreciate the complexity of each Madison Opera performance even more now that I understand how many facets must converge to create the magic!
