Wolf Trap Opera: La Traviata
Glorious music fills Verdi’s most popular opera, a poignant love story about a woman who gives up her world to live for love. The Wolf Trap Opera Company and the National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Grant Gershon, celebrate Verdi’s bicentennial birthday with a new Operascape production. Directed by José Maria Condemi, the production features a video projection design by Aaron Rhyne developed for the Filene Center. This ageless story touches on some of our most basic desires and fears in a deeply profound way, subtly underscored by Verdi’s genius. First performed in Venice in 1853, La Traviata caused a sensation because of its immoral subject, but today it is one of the world’s most frequently performed operas. Violetta Valéry – Corinne Winters; Alfredo Germont – Benjamin Bliss; Giorgio Germont – Nicholas Pallesen; with Annina – Courtney Johnson; Flora Bervoix – Alexandra Rodrick; Gastone – Miles Mykkanen; Giuseppe – Brandon Russell; Baron Douphol – Harry Greenleaf; Marquis d’Obigny – Brian Vu; Doctor Grenville – Nicholas Brownlee.

Wes Mason, Baritone
Hampton Roads' own Wes Mason returns for an exceptional weekend of music making! Join Wes and members of Tidewater Opera Initiative for a recital featuring some of opera and Broadway's greatest hits. A native of Norfolk, Virginia, he holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of Michigan and is a recent graduate of the esteemed Academy of Vocal Arts. Wes has been widely acclaimed for creating the role of Cuban dissident and poet Reinaldo Arenas in the 2010 world premiere of Jorge Martín’s Before Night Falls with Fort Worth Opera. Noted critic William Madison called his performance “a tour de force. Constantly onstage, he sang in a mellow, lustrous baritone while simultaneously acting, running, jumping, and dancing. He looks like Arenas, only handsomer. For future productions, it will be difficult to find anyone else who’s up to these demands.” Visit him online at http://wesmasonstage.com/ All proceeds benefit Tidewater Opera Initiative's production of Cosi fan Tutte. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door. Christ and St. Luke’s Church, 560 W Olney Rd Norfolk, VA 23507
