Details:
Get set for favorite opera classics and timeless Broadway standards, including Lloyd Webber’s Phantom, Verdi’s Triumphal March from Aida, Rossini’s Barber of Seville Overture, and a Broadway show medley that incudes tunes from Mame, A Chorus Line and Sound of Music. The “Best of Broadway and Opera” concert is Saturday, May 19th, 7:00 p.m., at North Canyon High School Auditorium, 1700 E. Union Hills Drive.
NVSO will take this same performance on the road, traveling to Las Vegas to perform at UNLV’s Performing Arts Center in late April. ”Bringing this wonderful music to life in collaboration with the Las Vegas Master Singers will be a treat for every audience member, from young to old,” says NVSO Music Director, Kevin Kozacek.
Kozacek continues, “Something that’s not often realized is that a great deal of the classical music that we all recognize and love comes from opera and Broadway.” You may not know the name, but a song such as “March of the Toreadors” from Carmen has often been used for background music in movies, advertising and cartoons. And who knew that “The Wedding March” - with the words “here comes the bride…” - actually comes from Wagner’s opera Lohengrin. Of course, the Broadway favorites will also be a huge hit.”
NVSO is committed to making concert tickets affordable for all, and encourages entire families to attend. Ticket prices are only $5.00 each concert, and can be purchased on-line at www.northvalleysymphony.org.
