Sarasota Opera Announces Fall & Winter Season

Coconut Telegraph

Sarasota Opera recently announced its plans for the 2015-2016 fall and winter season, the most climactic in the company’s 56 year history. The season will feature the final two installments of the 28 year Verdi Cycle – The Battle of Legnano and Aida- in a grand spectacle of music, vocal prowess, awe-inspiring choruses, sumptuous scenery, and luxurious costumes. In addition, Sarasota Opera will present Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, and Mozart’s Così fan tutte. Sarasota Opera will host a “Verdi Festival” March 14 – 20, 2016, which will include performances of both Verdi operas, Aida and The Battle of Legnano, as well as two concerts dedicated to the music of Verdi. The 2016 season and Verdi Cycle will conclude with Sarasota Opera’s annual Verdi Concert on March 20, 2016. “Through the Verdi Cycle, our audience has discovered that Verdi is a composer worth knowing at almost every level of his development,” says Maestro Victor DeRenzi, artistic director and principal conductor. “All of his works deserve to be performed and they all work best when they are experienced live in a theater. We are proud to be the only company in the world to have performed all his works.”
