Super Storm
Opera for the Young/Madison Opera
Margaret C. Winston Opera Center 335 W. Mifflin St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
This original collaboration by Opera for the Young and Madison Opera should quickly wash away any notion that opera is reserved for stuffy halls filled with petticoats and miniature binoculars. Centering around four vocalists caught in a massive storm, this story tells of everyday people rising up in the face of extraordinary circumstances. For added cuteness, the production will also feature local kids playing stray cats and dogs.
press release: Opera for the Young, in partnership with Madison Opera, is giving a free public performance of Super Storm! at the Madison Opera Center on Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 3pm. Super Storm! is a new opera with an original score by Scott Gendel, Madison Opera’s principal coach and accompanist, and a libretto by Diane Garton Edie, OFTY’s Artistic Director. The 45-minute performance is suitable for all ages and will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the creators.
Super Storm! is sponsored by National Endowment for the Arts and the American Girl Fund for Children.
