June 17 and June 18 – Tulsa PAC
From tulsapac.com: On the heels of acclaimed European performances in Hamburg, Dresden and Venice and a two‑year sold-out run at the Berlin Comic Opera, “The Snow Queen,” a fairytale opera by Pierangelo Valtinoni that will delight adults and children alike, will have its American premiere in Tulsa!
Based on the Hans Christian Andersen story that inspired Disney’s smash hit “Frozen,” this work is firmly rooted in the Italian lyric opera tradition with rousing choral numbers and tuneful arias.
When young Kai falls under the spell of the Snow Queen — who freezes the hearts of all who cross her path — Kai’s best friend, Gerda, must summon all of her courage, love and perseverance to find him in the barren tundra of the Snow Queen’s realm and to melt his now icy heart.
This new production, created for Tulsa Opera in an English translation, features three adult professional singers and the 50 children of Tulsa Youth Opera, accompanied by the Tulsa Opera Orchestra. For tickets and more information visit tulsapac.com.
