ARMIDA
1st May 2010 at 5.30pm (2 intermissions)
This story of a sorceress who enthralls men in her island prison has inspired operatic settings by a multitude of composers, including Gluck, Haydn, and Dvorák. Renée Fleming stars in the title role of Rossini’s version, opposite no fewer than six tenors. Tony Award®winner Mary Zimmerman returns to direct this new production of a work she describes as a buried treasure, a box of jewels. The fanciful and magical tale, Zimmerman says, has an epic, enchanted quality and a tremendous visual element.
