UGA Opera Theatre will be presenting “Postcard from Morocco” by Dominick Argento. This work is the most performed American Chamber Opera in the world.
Surreal, entertaining, and emotionally charged, “Postcard from Morocco” is richly melodic, featuring a brilliant variety of musical flavors borrowing from ragtime and popular music along with a deft parody of Wagner’s Flying Dutchman.
The cast includes familiar faces: Eleftherios Chasanidis (DMA ’23), Xiaohan Chen (DMA ’24), Andrew Ellis (DMA ‘23), Samantha Mishima Friedman (DMA ’24), Robert Harrelson (DMA ’25), and Sara Lynn Storm (MM ’23), and introduces Xandrya Edwards (MM ’23) and Brooks Todd (BM ’24)
The production will once again be directed by Daniel Ellis (Cosi fan Tutte, Faust) and conducted by returning guest artist Maestro Hilary Griffiths (Cosi Fan Tutte). Cheri Prough DeVol will be designing the set, lighting, and video projections. Kathryn Wright will serve as vocal coach.
“Dominick Argento’s Postcard from Morocco casts a spell of unusual power for those willing to enjoy its decidedly different concepts…. a remarkable work.”
— The Washington Post
“Postcard From Morocco is rich with ideas … A strange and often beautiful evening of theater!” —The New York Times
