Some brainstorming about 2008 repertoire possibilities, completely in the abstract. When we begin auditions (in less than a week!), the list will quickly be winnowed.
The Return of Sir Benjamin to The Barns
Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Rape of Lucretia
The Perennial Handel Wish List
Agrippina, Alcina, Ariodante, Flavio, Giustino, Hercules, Partenope, Rinaldo, Semele
Mozart, Haydn & Friends
Cosi fan tutte, Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Lucio Silla, Il Re Pastore, Zaide
Il Mondo della luna (Haydn)
La Capricciosa corretta (Martin y Soler)
Il Re Teodoro in Venezia (Paisiello)
More Baroque
Il mondo alla roversa (Galuppi)
Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria
Dido & Aeneas
Long Shots
Merry Wives of Windsor
I Capuleti ed i Montecchi
Ariadne auf Naxos
Un Giorno di Regno (Verdi)
Donne curiose, I quatro rusteghi (Wolf-Ferrari)
Docteur Miracle (Bizet)
Rip-Roarin’ Rossini… Always a good time :)
L’equivoco stravagante, La gazza ladra, L’inganno felice, La scala di seta, La gazzetta, La pietra del paragone
Don’t draw any premature conclusions. History has shown that it’s entirely possible for something not on the October short list to appear on our stage the following summer!
What a list! *sigh*
I love that I don’t recognize some of these! :) That’s exciting! Can’t wait to see what the season listing ends up being!
