Maryland Opera Studio presents Don Giovanni at Clarice Smith, Apr 14-23

Maryland Opera Studio presents Don Giovanni at Clarice Smith, Apr 14-23

Maryland Opera Studio presents:
Mozart’s Don Giovanni
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composer
Lorenzo Da Ponte, librettist
Craig Kier, conductor
Corinne Hayes, director
April 14-April 23, 2023

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Grand Pavilion, general admission.

While fleeing the scene of his crime, the lascivious Don Giovanni commits an unimaginable murder. This depraved act unleashes hell itself in an opera that masterfully combines dark comedy with the darkest of acts. With themes that continue to resonate today, Mozart and Da Ponte create a world as troubling and complicated in our time as it was at its premiere. This opera will be performed in Italian with English supertitles. Under the direction of Craig Kier, the Maryland Opera Studio is dedicated to the future of opera. Preparing the next generation of great singers and offering performances ranging from classic repertoire to provocative new works, it is building contemporary audiences for opera and advancing the art form to sustain those audiences.

When Aliens Fall from the Sky–Work-in-Progress Reading

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

When Aliens Fall from the Sky is the long-awaited return to the stage of Tony Award winning poet and performance artist Lemon Andersen. Prepared for the Latinx diaspora, Anderson speaks truth to power of the unidentified and undocumented. He spits searing, insightful rhymes about the communities that are the bone marrow of our nation. A one-man show influenced by the autobiographical monologues of Spalding Gray, When Aliens Fall from the Sky is a rally cry for the melting pot of Latinidad to speak and act on the identity crisis in America and join in a collective path forward. Brown fisted, black skinned.

Created, Written and Performed by Lemon Andersen
Directed & Developed by Elise Thoron
Sound Design by Germán Martínez, with additional music by DJ Mode
Creative Producer: Paola Soto
