The Frost Opera Theater at the University of Miami concludes its 2009 – 2010 season with the South Florida premieres of two one – act operas: Strawberry Fields by Michael Torke and A.R. Gurney, and Ballymore, Part 1: Winners by Richard Wargo.
Lauded by international press and an Emmy Award nominee for its PBS Great Performances broadcast, Strawberry Fields draws together memorable characters surrounding an elegant, aging woman who perceives life in Central Park as a visit to the opera. While there, she shares her love for Verdi with a Columbia University student who, in turn, teaches her about John Lennon. Ballymore, Part 1: Winners is based on a play by Ireland’s premiere dramatist, Brian Friel. It relates the events of a fateful day in the lives of two teenagers engaged to be married in the town of Ballymore, Ireland.
