Activity 2

Bermudas & this is the rill speaking by lee hoiby are typical of hoibys lush orchestral and vocal writing. We had hoped to involve mr. Hoiby in the early stages of the production but sadly, he died a few months prior to first rehearsals, and only three days after lanford wilson, the playwright on whose work rill was based. Perhaps themost interesting thing about these two works is that nothing really happens. However, we get to know each character as if they were members of our own family. The simplicity and poignancy of each scene seems to read like a page out of our own diary, and all of this to a beautifully crafted score. Audiences were quite moved and left the theater with smiles of deep satisfaction. As always, both rill and glory denied were double cast, furthering the careers of twice as many singers.

Activity 3

Chelsea opera presents offered four concerts: a harpsichord recital by volunteer long-time grants writer, lucille gruber, a romp through a variety of pants roles in girls will be boys, a valentine concert from tenor daniel rodriguez and a salute to american baritone, mark rucker, in mostly very verismo. This last concert allowed us to reach out to students at the copland school of music (queens college/cuny) to participate in the ensemble. These concerts provided an opportunity to more than 3 dozen singers to perform at no cost with the artistic, promotional and financial support of a professional company.
