The Garden Girl in Disguise
Join CIM opera director David Bamberger in his first full
production as artistic director of the CIM Opera Program.
On April 6, 7, 8 and 9 at 8:00 p.m. the CIM Opera Theater will
present Mozart’s opera The Garden Girl in Disguise. Stephen
Byess will return to serve as guest conductor of the
CIM Orchestra.
Sometimes called “the most underappreciated of Mozart’s
operas,” The Garden Girl in Disguise is a unique mixture of
comic and serious work produced when the composer was only
18 years old. This piece anticipates the enchanting comedy of
his most celebrated masterpieces, but also has remarkable
scenes of romance and passion that are not duplicated in his
most famous works. “It has been great fun to develop this
piece for CIM audiences,” said Bamberger. “The original
opera is quite long, and has a somewhat confusing libretto.
Our adaptation tightens the work and includes only the music
that is Mozart’s very best. I think audiences will be amazed at
the wonderful music that Mozart created when he was still
a teenager.”
CIM extends thanks and appreciation to the John P. Murphy
Foundation for its generous gift supporting the opera program.
Tickets for the production are $15; $10 for students and
seniors.
The CIM Women’s Committee
On November 17, 2004, the CIM Women’s Committee held its first-ever board
reunion. The brainchild of current board member Jean Wiant, the event drew
more than 70 past Women’s Committee board members, including seven past
presidents. The centerpiece of the event was the unveiling of the model for CIM’s
expansion project and a brief presentation by architect Charles Young. The group
also heard performances by CIM piano students Michael Schneider and Zahari
Metchkov, who closed the luncheon with a rousing rendition of “The William Tell
Overture” arranged for four hands. Both
study with Paul Schenly, who provided
an introduction for the performance.
