Live in the WMHT television studios, the directors and artists of Glimmerglass Opera present their 2024 summer festival season opening Monday July 22. Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, Cavalli's La Calisto, Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci, Kevin Puts' Elizabeth Cree and their youth opera Rumpelstiltskin and the Unlovable Children, a hilarious take on the old folk tale. General and Artistic Director Rob Ainsley and Music Director Joseph Colaneri came in to tell us about it together with Brenna Corner, director of Pagliacci. Live performances from the ensemble feature Taylor Raven, Kyle Sanchez Tingzon, Kaylan Hernandez, Ruby Dibble and John Chest, accompanied by Head of Music Christopher Devlin.
Complete information about the season including the commedia del’arte “Lyrics on The Lawn” prefacing Pagliacci, their “Production in Pipeline” workshops for next year, their young artist program and extra discussions, recitals, picnics and more can be found at glimmerglass.org.
