Sacramento Opera
La Traviata
by Giuseppe Verdi
Violetta: Karen Slack
Alfredo: Alexander Boyer
Germont: Kenneth Overton
Flora: Erin Neff
Douphol: Will Tvrdik
Annina: Alina Ilchuk
Conductor, Timm Rolek
Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra
Setting: In and around Paris, mid nineteenth century
Based on the novel and play La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas, Jr., La Traviata is one of the ten most popular operas in the repertoire. The story was immortalized in the classic movie Camille starring Greta Garbo and later given a popular update in Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts. Listen for the famous “Drinking Song” and Sempre libera aria.
This vivid “slice of life” is loosely based on actual events that took place between Alexandre Dumas, Jr., and his lover Marie Duplessis. The story revolves around the relationship between the stunningly beautiful but frail courtesan Violetta Valéry and her lover the well-born Alfredo Germont. Alfredo’s father Giorgio’s efforts thwart their relationship and serve as a catalyst for the opera’s heart-wrenching climax. Don’t miss this romantic tale of love, passion, and betrayal.
“Love is the heartbeat of the universe.” — La Traviata
Sung in Italian with English supertitles

Charms, Spells and Enchantments
Dukas: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Falla: El Amor Brujo, Spanish classical dancer, Fanny Ara
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring
We will begin with Dukas’ perennial favorite, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Our younger fans will remember this piece from Disney’s Fantasia.
We’ll feature the magic of Spanish dance with Falla’s "Love and the Magician", originally composed as a smaller "Gypsy Piece", the story of Candela the Gypsy girl, whose love for Carmelo is tormented by the ghost of her faithless former lover. The "Ritual Fire Dance" section is one of the best known in the classical repertoire.
Finally, we close with Stravinsky’s ballet, Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring). Also featured in Fantasia, this work has, over the years, inspired awe, love, adoration, amusement, anger and even riots at its first performance. Acknowledged as one of the great masterworks of 20th century music, it includes sections labeled "Spring Rounds", "Mystic Circle of the Young Girls", "Ancestral Spirits", and "The Sacrificial Dance".

American Bach Soloists
Bach ST. JOHN PASSION
with the American Bach Choir
Ellen Hargis, soprano
Judith Malafronte, alto
Aaron Sheehan, tenor
Joshua Copeland, baritone
William Sharp, baritone
The great Passions of J. S. Bach remain unparalleled in their dramatic impact and universally experienced emotional effects. Bach took the genre to new worlds of expression, incorporating the Lutheran tradition of chorales with newer, Italianate operatic elements. The result is a powerful force of rhetoric that tells the Passion story reinforced by personalized illuminations of onlookers. Maestro Thomas, one of the Baroque music world’s most celebrated Evangelists, brings his unique and insightful perspectives to the podium in performances that are as gripping as they are beautiful.
