PARIS 1959
Join us for an evening of opera and jazz presenting Giacomo Puccini’s Il Tabarro and Jazz Quartet featuring scenes, sounds and sins from Paris in the 1950’s. Oct. 15 & 17, 2009: 7:30PM Ticket Prices: $25 - Assigned Seating $15 - Seniors and Students $10 - Student Rush 1 Hour Before Each Performance
Join us for a trip to Paris 1959 where you will experience the culture and sounds of that time
in the musical forms of opera and jazz. Puccini's Il Tabarro has been updated from 1918
to include a visually cohesive and familiar look as well as social commentary indicative of that
era. Michele will be portrayed by baritone Timothy Lafontaine, Giorgetta by soprano Eleni
Calenos and Luigi by tenor David Gagnon. Tami Swartz will direct and the Metropolitan
Opera's own Steven Crawford will music direct and be our orchestra at the piano. Additional
features include internationally acclaimed jazz saxophonist (and Central PA's own) Tim Warfield in
his acting debut! This will be a fully staged and costumed production with sets and lighting. The second half
of the evening focuses on Tim Warfield and the Jimmy Wood Trio with a set of jazz music that was popular and
composed during that period. The Beat Generation lives on!
