Masked Ball Photos

Photos from the dress rehearsal of Masked Ball at the Lyric.  That's me above, in the center (in that fabulous hat) as Colombina.  Below, a close up of that fabulous hat and my fun white wig.  Masked Ball runs through December 10th.

Un Ballo in Maschera

November 1st brings us that much closer to my next production.  See me as Colombina in The Lyric Opera's production of A Masked Ball or in Italian, Un Ballo in Maschera opening November 15, 2010. 

A love triangle turns deadly in one of Italian opera's greatest hits!
Conspirators want the monarch dead — and suspected adultery plays right into their murderous plans.
The king is in love with his best friend's wife — and she's in love with him. Desperate to extinguish her ardor, she turns to a sorceress for help — but too late! The secret's out and a devastated husband takes his revenge!
You'll thrill to Verdi at the peak of his musical and dramatic genius as he delves deeply into the psyches of three people who love, yet destroy, each other.

Masked Ball is only here for eight performances!  November 15 through December 10, 2010.  For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the Lyric Opera's website.
