BOSTON EARLY MUSIC FESTIVAL CHAMBER OPERA SERIES

returns to South Florida – The Dragaon of Wantley

 

The Dragon of Wantley, the most popular operatic production of the entire 18th century in England, enjoyed a 45-year run. Lampe deftly lampoons the excesses of Handelian opera in this hilarious farce of 1736. This all-new production is led by BEMF’s GRAMMY-winning Musical Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs and acclaimed Stage Director Gilbert Blin. An all-star cast, featuring GRAMMY-nominee Teresa Wakim alongside Emily Siar and Douglas Williams, combines with period-inspired staging and lavish costumes, to bring this rollicking masterpiece to life in a must-see operatic event!

 

RK Cultural Productions will present the Boston Early Music Festival’s Chamber Opera Series with the co-sponsorship of Wertheim School of Music & Arts.  RK receives the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor, Board of County Commissioners. This project is partly sponsored by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture (Section 286.25, Florida Statutes).
