A lot of wonderful work and fun have gone into rehearsals for La Flamenca. However, it is with sadness that I have to report a delay in our project.
Due
to events beyond all our control, some singers are no longer available
for our production of La Flamenca due to personal crises. While we
allowed for the possibility of delay in the Risk section of this
campaign, we have worked hard and remained on target until these events
occurred.
We are unique as an opera company in the repertory that
we offer. When canon operas are performed, it is easy to plug in
replacement singers in an emergency because the study of the roles in
these operas are part of our required training. This is not the case
with rare or lost opera where there are no recordings that allow for
quick study.
Therefore we have come up with a plan to address our
needs, provide you with a product on the dates we originally promised,
and present an even more powerful La Flamenca this coming spring.
On December 9 and 10th (only), we are proud to present A Creole Christmas
at the Marigny Opera House. This is a fond remembrance of 19th and 20th
century Advent and Christmas traditions that New Orleanians hold dear.
To
preserve your donations for La Flamenca, and cover the cost of
producing A Creole Christmas, tickets will be $25. Admission will be
complimentary to our donors at the $100 and above level.
We are
continuing to work tirelessly to bring Lucien Lambert's wonderful work
to life in May. Until then, we will continue to post video updates of
various aspects of the production for your enjoyment.
Thank you again for your generosity, and we thank you in advance for your patience.
We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, and look forward to seeing you in December and May!
Sincerely,
Givonna Joseph,
Founder and Director of OperaCreole
