The Impresario at Jubilee! Circle

Columbia Operatic Laboratory (COLab) is presenting the opera The Impresario, which features music by Mozart and a new libretto and book by Evelyn Clary, at 7:00 PM on Thursday, May 12th at Jubilee! Circle.

Originally created in 1786 for a private performance for Emperor Joseph II and eighty of his
besties, the story tells the tale of two sopranos vying to be prima donna of an opera company. In this new English adaptation of the libretto, Frances Honda Coppola, sung by Maria Beery, and her assistant Bradley Pittman, played by Bradley Fuller, who also serves as the accompanist, are leading a financially struggling small opera company. Bitcoin investor Gil Bates, played by Austin Means, offers to fund their entire season if they employ his…er…mature girlfriend Goldie Dawn, played by Clary, and his new young fling, Alicia Silvertone, played by Sara Jackson. Of course, all manner of hilarity ensues. Michael T. Brown is directing the performance.
