2009 Opera Production
7:30 pm, Lobero Theatre
George Manahan, conductor
Casey Stangl, director
Thomas: Mignon
A
personal favorite of Marilyn Horne, who performed the title role early in her
career, Mignon is a charming and
melodious opera in the French Romantic style. Based on Goethe's Wilhelm Meister, it was first performed
in Paris
in 1866. Regarded as Thomas' masterpiece, Mignon
is filled with graceful music – most notably the lovely aria "Connais-tu le
pays?" The Music Academy's fully staged production will
feature Simone Osborne, first-prize winner at
the 2008 Marilyn Horne Foundation Vocal Competition. We welcome the return of Maestro George Manahan, music director of the New York City Opera, and Casey
Stangl, who directed our 2007 production of La
Bohème. Repeats August 9. Mignon is the 2009 Irene Cummings Endowed Opera at the Music Academy of the West.
