La Wally
by Alfredo Catalani
Admission $20, cash or check
Featuring beautiful Italian verismo music, La Wally takes place in the Austrian Tyrol where the free-spirited but vulnerable Wally is in love with the handsome Giuseppe Hagenbach, the son of her father's implacable enemy. This leads to the inevitable disastrous conclusion. Best known for its aria “Ebben? Ne andro lontana” ("Well, then? I’ll go far away"; sung when she decides to leave her home forever), it features a memorable operatic death in which the heroine throws herself into an avalanche.
Sung in Italian with supertitles in English and Italian, La Wally will be performed concert style with a full cast of soloists, chorus and a 10 piece chamber orchestra.
