Event description

Our Opening Concert will bring together the talents of our principal artists, cherished alumni, and the hidden gems from our staff and board in a diverse program inspired by our festival theme: "Wages of Sin". Our intermission-free program will feature an eclectic range of musical pairings: from Cole Porter and Kurt Weill to Verdi and Stravinsky to Zarzuela and songs on Sufi love poetry.

Join us for an evening of sublime music, culminating in a reception where you can mingle with the artists and team that make it all happen.

dell'Arte Opera Ensemble's June festival, themed “Wages of Sin,” features a double bill of Kurt Weill’s THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS (libretto by Bertolt Brecht in the English translation by W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman) and Robert Nelson’s TICKETS, PLEASE! with a libretto by Sidney L. Berger after the short story by D.H. Lawrence. A curated song program, CHANSONS DE BAUDELAIRE: Les Fleurs du Mal will receive two performances, and the festival will also include GUILTY PLEASURES, a cabaret program of songs by Weill, Cole Porter, and others. Programming curated and prepared by Artistic Director Chris Fecteau.

DELL’ARTE OPERA ENSEMBLE was created to provide emerging opera artists with training and performance opportunities necessary to bridge the gap between the conservatory and a flourishing career. The emphasis is on “learning by doing”, backed by the philosophy that superior craft creates great art. DELL’ARTE’S annual summer repertory season also attracts new audiences by offering high-quality, meticulously crafted opera presentations featuring rising young artists in intimate venues. The company’s programming includes a wide range of operas, ranging from standard repertoire like Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and Bizet’s Carmen to seldom heard works like Salieri’s Falstaff and Hiram Titus’ Rosina, to new works including Carla Lucero and Alicia Gaspar de Alba’s Juana, and in 2019, our first commission, Princess Maleine by Whitney George and Bea Goodwin.

Since its founding in 2000 DELL’ARTE has focused on helping singers integrate the skills that comprise a comprehensive role preparation process. Our goals are to:

Provide role preparation guidance, from audition and casting, through coaching and rehearsals, to debut performances;

Provide singers with a comprehensive professional rehearsal and performance context with the highest expectations and standards for effective collaboration .

Participants in the program receive a unique and carefully structured curriculum of private coaching, seminars, and masterclasses with industry professionals designed to address practice methods, diction, musical style, movement and character development, preparing them for a career in an increasingly competitive opera world. Unlike many other programs, ours charges no fees and does not require singers to leave New York City.

Since its inception in 2000, nearly 600 singers have benefited from DELL’ARTE’s programs. Of these, more than 30% perform regularly in opera houses and concert halls throughout the US and internationally, including LA Opera, Sarasota Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Royal Opera House (London) and Bel Canto at Caramoor. At least 10 have had Metropolitan Opera debuts and many are now on faculty at universities around the country.
