FIGARO! LIVING IN THE MOMENT OF A CHARACTER (1:59)
1:00 PM Saturday, January 29th
Admission: $7
Synopsis: Schafer’s “Figaro! Living in the Moment of a Character,” is a feature-length documentary about an opera production by the University of Louisville School of Music and Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, Poland.
Fifteen singers, two countries, and the music of Mozart. The stage was set for an incredible collaboration between two music schools: The Louisville School of Music in Kentucky and The Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, Poland. The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s comic opera “The Marriage of Figaro” would be the language to unite both casts. Schaefer followed the development of the production over a three-month period, capturing not only the rigorous schedule of its performers, but behind-the-scenes glimpses of everyone responsible for bringing the house to its feet. See Preview.
Joining Dan Schaefer for the post-film discussion will be Philip Piele, Eugene Opera's Executive Vice-President, to share insights and experiences in opera. (Presented with support from the Eugene Opera.
