OPERAS AND MUSICALS
MET Operas at Town Hall Theater
On Saturday, January 5th, the Met offers a rare opportunity to witness
Berlioz’s vast epic, “Les Troyens”, last performed at the Met in 2003. Deborah
Voigt, Susan Graham, Bryan Hymel, and Dwayne Croft lead the starry cast,
portraying characters from the Trojan War. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi
marshals the large-scale musical forces.
Then on Saturday, January 19th, the Met presents
Donizetti’s “Maria Stuarda”. Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, one of the world’s
most exciting singers, takes on the virtuosic bel canto role of the doomed Mary,
Queen of Scots. Director David McVicar turns to the second opera of Donizetti’s
Tudor trilogy, which explores regal characters at fateful moments of their lives.
Elza van den Heever sings Elizabeth I, and Maurizio Benini conducts this Met
Premiere.
Both operas will be presented “Live in HD” at the Town Hall Theater. Tickets for both
operas are $24 each. Check your Lodge calendar for leave times for the bus.
Noye’s Fludde
This one-act opera is a unique take on the well-known biblical tale
of Noah and his Ark. It is a foundational story that helps humankind
understand its place in the world, its responsibility to care for it and the
balance – between nature and man, between man and God – that must be
achieved to sustain it.
The Opera Theatre of Weston will present Noye’s Fludde at the
Paramount Theatre in Rutland on Sunday, January 6th. Continuing OTW’s mission of “bringing
children to opera and opera to children”, this production will reach new heights as the majority of the
cast will consist of local youngsters taking the parts of Noye’s sons and their wives and twelve pairs
of animals.
Tickets for this inspiring production are $15 or $28 (depending on seating area). The bus will
leave Otter Creek at 12:30 P.M.
Sondheim and Lapine’s “Into the Woods”
Middlebury College’s Department of Music and the Town Hall Theater
co-produce a staged version of “Into the Woods” this month at the Town Hall
Theater. Doug Anderson is the Stage Director, with Carol Christensen as
Musical Director and Tim Guiles as Band Director/Conductor.
We have chosen the Saturday evening performance on January 26th for
Otter Creek residents to attend. Tickets are $12 each and are sure to sell out
quickly, so sign up soon! The bus will leave The Lodge at 7:15 P.M. for this performance.

Resident Review
“The Metropolitan Opera”
The Metropolitan Opera season has started. Living in Shelburne, we are fortunate to have the
privilege of seeing the simulcasts in high definition directly from the stage of the opera house in New
York.
These thrilling performances are broadcast regularly and we see them at the Palace 9 Theatre
nearby. International stars of the opera world are featured. In addition to experiencing the brilliance
of the voices and the music, we are privileged to be taken backstage to see the intricacies of making
a production, including staging, costumes, ballet and special effects. The singers, in brief interviews,
demystify the complexity of their roles, and share the highs and lows of their performances.
Transportation is provided by the management of The Lodge. Performances are Saturday
afternoons at 1:00 P.M. Tickets are $25 and should be reserved by Wednesday prior to the
performance.

Staff Appreciation Party
The Staff appreciation Party on December 12th was a decided
success, judging from the cheerful reactions of the staff members
attending. The desserts were excellent as usual, but the distribution of
envelopes to all the people who make life easy for us was the main
attraction. Margaret Bullard, the Director of Dining Services,
particularly livened up the party when she presented to her staff; they
got an enthusiastic welcome.
The Staff appreciation Committee is grateful for the response from
residents; their generosity has certainly warmed up the holiday season
for the staff community!
