AVA presents Mascagni’s L’amico Fritz

 

Concert Dates: Thursday, Jan. 20th, 2005 and Friday, Jan. 21st, 2005

The Academy of Vocal Arts presents the latest in their series of concert operas, the rarely performed L’Amico Fritz by Pietro Mascagni, in the Kimmel Center’s Perelman Theater.

 

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s David Patrick Sterns said this performance “…further validated what one hopes will be an annual practice of presenting musically worthy… operas in concert form.”

 

AVA’s exceptionally talented resident artists perform the three act opera, with orchestral accompaniment by the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.

Also included in the two-hour broadcast on WRTI this Sunday are interviews with cast members James Valenti (Fritz), Ailyn Perez (Suzel), Yungbae Yang (David), and Maestro Christofer Macatsoris.   Well-known opera expert Wayne Connor hosts.

 

Be sure to listen to WRTI 90.1FM this Sunday at 3:00pm to hear this fantastic concert!
