Orchestra. The venue is the Port Angeles High School

PT Community Orchestra
Presents A Night at the Opera
A Night at the Opera is the theme of the Port Townsend
Community Orchestra’s spring concert on Saturday,
April 27 at 7:30 p.m. The program will highlight three
opera divas, all who have years of stage experience
singing in Europe and America. Soprano Nancy Beier
sang her entire career in German opera houses. Soprano
Susan Roe, who sang with the orchestra in 2012, made
her operatic debut singing La Boheme in the Cairo Opera
House in Egypt, and Sharon Annette Lancaster, mezzosoprano,
has sung in the Seattle area for many years and
has also sung in Germany.
Maestro Dewey Ehling has conducted many grand operas
as well as dozens of musicals and has selected a blend of
arias and music from opera and ballet. Ehling says that
opera is stimulating because it is so complex—encompassing
all the elements of theater including lighting,
costuming, make-up, dance and acting. All are secondary
to the art of singing.
The audience will hear arias from Carmen, Romeo and
Juliet, Tosca, Lakmé and Der Rosenkavalier, as well
as ballet music from Faust and a lovely mazurka from
Delibes’ ballet Coppelia.
Also on the program will be the fourth movement of
Borodin’s Symphony No. 2 in B minor, which will
complete the symphony’s season. Next October the
orchestra will play the entire symphony.
All concerts at Chimacum High School Auditorium are
free to the public, and donations are welcome. Conductor
Ehling gives a 20-minute program preview at 6:45 p.m.
