The final opera of the 2020 Winter Opera Festival is a new production of La Wally (pronounced “lah vahLEE”) by Alfredo Catalani, a work not seen in the U.S. for more than 30 years. In a village in the Tyrolean Alps, the strong-willed Wally resists her father’s wishes, choosing to pursue an unrequited love. When the man of her dreams breaks her heart, a chain of events leads to tragedy. The work’s lush and melodic music features one of opera’s most captivating arias, “Ebben! Ne andrò lontana,” (“Well, then! I’ll go far away”), a sad and haunting song that was featured in Jean-Jacques Beineix’s 1981 French thriller film, Diva. La Wally will have six performances through March 22, 2020. Tickets start at $19 and are available at www.sarasotaopera.org and in the Sarasota Opera Box Office.
