The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret

Company:
Opera del West

Dear Opera del West fans,

We have an exciting night of opera and art song planned for this Sunday, and we hope you will join us. All of the works are written by Women Composers and we are looking forward to bringing them to the forefront during Women’s History month.

If you come at 6:30, you will get to hear from Leanna Kirchoff, who wrote the one act opera that we will be highlighting, The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret.

Our prelude will be a set of Art Songs by women: Pauline Viardot Garcia, Clara Schumann, Amy Beach and Libby Larsen. Following that will be intermission with our usual complimentary refreshments.

Then we will perform the New England Premiere of Leanna Kirchoff’s one-act opera, The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret. Winner of the 2014-2016 National Opera Association Chamber Opera Competition, this work depicts a cat and mouse conversation between two women sharing what seems to be a polite tea, shadowed on stage by two other singers playing their inner selves interjecting truthful commentary.

Sung by Erin Merceruio Nelson, Laura DellaFera, Elena Snow and Stephanie Kacoyanis, this evening is directed by Brenda Huggins and music directed by Eve Budnick.
