Hello Family, Friends and Other Fine Folk!
This letter will be somewhat brief, but while I am in the midst of
composing and re-grouping myself to get preparations underway to start
raising funding for two recording projects, yours truly will be back on
the podium to conduct a preview performance on Halloween in New York
City at the National Opera Center, located at 330 7th Avenue at 3:00
p.m.
OperAvant, a new company founded
by Tamara Cashour devoted to bringing a combination of old operas being
staged anew as well as rare, unknown and new works in the genre, will be
presenting "Tricks and Treats" which will present the first acts of two
operas: Act 1 of Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth and the first performance of the first act of The Bird Lady,
a new opera composed by Timothy Lee Miller to a libretto by Germaine
Shames. This performance is to raise awareness of Tamara's company so
that a full production of both works can be realized, beginning with The Bird Lady sometime in the spring of 2022, with Macbeth Deconstructed following in the 2022-23 season.
Both productions boast two fabulous casts that I guarantee will warm your ears and hearts.
A warning in advance: The performance venue is quite small, so if you do
wish to come down to midtown Manhattan to see the performance and find
yourself unable to get in either because the place is filled to
capacity (I believe it only seats about 60, so try to come early), or you don't meet the requirements to attend (You
have to present ID and proof of vaccination and be masked - no
exceptions!), do not worry as I will keep everyone posted on when
complete performances of these two productions will occur in larger
spaces. Hopefully by that time we should have the pandemic controlled.
Sincerely,
Kevin Scott
