Florentine Opera Performs Elmer Gantry

Elmer Gantry

Based on the atire by American novelist Sinclair Lewis (which was also the basis for an Academy Award-winning film starring Burt Lancaster and Jean Simmons), Elmer Gantry mixes traditional operatic forms with vibrant gospel hymns and ensemble to explore the comples and sometimes conflicted role of religion in American life.

This quintessentially American story of love and corruption follows a fradulent, womanizer through both his rise to power and fall from grace in early 20th century rural America.

Sung in English with English translations.

Floretnine Opera Rigoletto
Floretnine Opera Performs Rigoletto

Rigoletto is the captivating tale of a father's love and devotion, a daughter's unwittingly misplaced infatuation and a Duke's lascivious and reckless ways.

From the Duke's arrogant "La donna e mobile" to the renowned Quartet and Gilda's wistful "Caro nome," you'll recognize melody after melody of this tragically beautiful opera.

Sung in Italian with English translations.
