Location:
Mercury Theatre, Auckland
Details:
Auckland Opera Studio is paring a talented group of New Zealand singers with respected choreographer and dancer Michael Parmenter and the Auckland Chamber Ochestra to present a dynamic evening of opera and dance. Stage director Patrice Wilson, in keeping with the ethos of the Auckland Opera Studio and her own naked approach to opera and to Brecht’s stripped away style, puts the focus of this piece on the singers, with a cast of youg dramatic performers who play out the many faces and present the ‘sins’ as a kinetic ballet for voices.The first part of the programme presents the opera Seven Deadly Sins by German composer Kurt Weill (1900-1950) and German poet, playwright and theatrical reformer Bertolt Brecht who developed the Epic Theatre (it asks the audience to be more than just the unseen spectator in the theatrical illusion). This is then juxtaposed with the exquisite music of Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 2, Opus 10. This evening promises to be exciting, perhaps outside the box of your usual night at the Opera.For further information phone 027 291 9953.
