Dear Cast of Elixir,
Next Wednesday, September 1st, we will meet during opera time (3:35-5:30) in order to give everyone an opportunity to discuss their first impressions of their characters, and begin the process of exploration of this work.
Please begin by reading through the entire libretto at least twice, and bring to the table your thoughts and impressions about your own character and your relationships/interactions with other characters.
While any quality translation of the libretto will be suitable for these purposes, you will be expected to have a word-for-word translation as we work through this piece. For your information, our School of Music library does have the Nico Castel collections in its Reference section. The libretto can be found in Volume 1 of “Italian bel canto opera libretti”, ML48 .I83 2000.
In addition, preliminary coachings will begin on Friday, September 3rd, so begin looking over your material immediately.
A specific coaching schedule will follow shortly.
Best wishes
Kevin Class
Music Director/Conductor
UT Opera Theatre
