The Secret Life of Opera Singers – a One Woman Show
Created
and performed by operatic mezzo-soprano Imelda
Franklin Bogue,
The Secret Life of Opera
Singers is a fusion of a classical recital with
an intimate portrait of an opera singer with a sense of humor. The
hour-long one-woman show features improvisational comedy, audience
participation, music from Bizet’s Carmen and the great Italian
masters Rossini and Verdi, and a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the
life of a hell-for-leather young woman who knew she wanted to be
an opera singer at the age of ten, survived ten years with a psychotic
voice teacher, and worked as a security guard to put herself through
music school.
The Secret Life of Opera Singers was created and premiered in small theatres in Seattle, Washington a year ago and makes its East Coast debut this year.
Bogue, a Pacific Northwest-born classical singer, made her Carnegie Hall debut in June 2006. She also performs custom-tailored programs from the musical theatre repertoire.
"Ms.
Glaser infuses the evening with invigorating visceral vitality. A
cast of one is all that's required for a satisfying night at the
theater." – Ben
Brantley, NY Times
