L'amico Fritz
Company: West End Lyric
Ring in the spring with Mascagni's L'amico Fritz, a romantic tale of young love and Jewish joy! This opera is best known for the beautiful "Cherry Duet", but is seldom performed in its entirety.
This exciting new concept and staging by Creative Producer Jessica Bloch-Moisand stars tenor Michael Gonzalez as Fritz Kobus, soprano Hannah Shanefield as Suzel, and baritone David Smyth as Rabbi David.
Re-set in 1962 in Alsace, we find an assimilated Jewish community. They are supported by a Jewish gentleman farmer, Fritz Kobus, and his best friend, Rabbi David. Fritz is determined that he will be forever alone, dedicated solely to his farmland and friends. Rabbi David bets that he can find Fritz a wife and, sure enough, Suzel shows up on his doorstep! Will the Rabbi win the bet? Will Fritz find love with Suzel after all? You’ll have to see the show to find out!
