Opera del West presents: The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret

A Night of Women Composers

Join Opera del West for an evening celebrating female Composers. Our prelude will be a set of Art Songs by women: Pauline Viardot Garcia, Clara Schumann, Amy Beach and Libby Larsen. Then we will perform the New England Premiere of Leanna Kirchoff’s one-act opera, The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret. Winner of the 2014-2016 National Opera Association Chamber Opera Competition, this work depicts a cat and mouse conversation between two women sharing what seems to be a polite tea, shadowed on stage by two other singers playing their inner selves interjecting truthful commentary. A wonderful way to celebrate National Women’s Month. Sung by Erin Merceruio Nelson, Laura DellaFera, Elena Snow and Stephanie Kacoyanis. Directed by Brenda Huggins and Music Directed by Eve Budnick.

Sunday, March 24, 2019 at 7pm at The Center for the Arts in Natick, 14 Summer St, Natick MA, www@natickarts.org or 508-647-0097. Tickets are $30 Public, $25 Members
