| Join us for the modern premiere of an opéra-ballet that broke the mold for its time by putting contemporary characters on stage. (Produced by Opera Lafayette, Ryan Brown Artistic Director) True to its innovative roots, this present-day retelling cleverly swaps the original muses’ debate over the qualities of comedy and tragedy for composers, librettists, and choreographers debating which of their art forms garners the best reviews! With renowned conductor Christophe Rousset on the podium and Catherine Turocy directing, this witty, joyful, female-centric tale will have you laughing and cheering until the end. Thalie promises to uphold Opera Lafayette’s reputation as “one of the most creatively game and artistically sound operations in the business.”(The Washington Post). Thalie features a diverse and talented cast of American singers including Jonathan Woody (Opera Lafayette Artistic Associate), Angel Azzarra, Pascale Beaudin, Scott Brunscheen, Jean Bernard Cerin, Patrick Kilbride, Paulina Francisco, John Taylor Ward, and Ariana Wehr. The production also includes eight dancers led by choreographers Anuradha Nehru and Pragnya Thamire, Julian Donahue and Julia Bengtsson of the NYBDC, and Caroline Copeland, Associate Director of NYBDC.
