Two One-Act Operas to be Performed

After more the 15 years of the absence of opera in Jacksonville, the David L. Walters Department of Music will present two one-act operas May 27 to May 28 at 7 each evening in Stone Center Theater. The operas are Signor Deluso and Down in the Valley. Down in the Valley is written by Kurt Weill, a German-born American composer who was intstumental in melding opera and musical theater. The opera is about a young girl who is in love with a man who has been sentenced to death in a Birmingham jail for murdering a man. A series of flashbacks portray their love for each other and how the murder happened. Signor Deluso is a comedy of misconceptions composed by Thomas Pasatieri, the orchestrator for Finding Nemo. Celie is in love with a young man, Leon, but her father will not allow it. Deluso's wife believes he is having an affair with Celie. Deluso believes his wife is carrying on with Leon, who believes that Deluso is married to Celie. When the confusion finally reaches the boiling point, the pleasantly plump maid enters the fray to straighten everything out. For more information contact Dr. Nathan Wight at 782-5876.
