Opera Workshop: The Three Sopranos
Mozart’s Impresario and Offenbach’s Le Mariage aux Lanternes
Kay Castaldo, director
James Schmid, Impresario director
Steven McGhee, musical director
The Three Sopranos, an adaption of Mozart’s The Impresario, and Offenbach’s Le Mariage aux Lanternes, showcases a group of eccentric performers trying to create an extravagant opera production to finish out a shaky theatrical season. With their director, Max’s, health collapsing, Barney, his assistant, and Angel, a wealthy friend and physician who is backing the show, struggle to take the reigns of the company, now an opera company to top off the problems. The group makes a fatal “first timers” error by only considering three sopranos for casting. Now, the battling divas’ tantrums leave the production in a state of hysterical tension. Their passion as artists and performers clashes with the reality of producing a fully staged show.
