ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The performance is of three American operas, “Gallantry,” by Douglas Moore, and “The Telephone” and “The Old Maid and the Thief” by Gian Carlo Menotti. Each will be presented like a staged radio show from the 1950s, with performances by vocal music students under the direction of Associate Professor Matthew Markham, voice, and music director Kristin Ditlow, a guest artist and faculty member at the University of New Mexico.
Between the shows, commercials will be performed by the cast, with original jingles by Professor Mathew Buchman, jazz studies. The commercials will feature area business sponsors, such as Mullins Cheese.
“Gallantry” is a literal soap opera, with a dramatic half-hour story about soap.
“Telephone” is a half-hour comedy about an intrusive phone call.
“The Old Maid and the Thief” is the longest of the three at one hour, and tells the story of an old maid who takes in a boarder and becomes the subject of gossip.
