SUMMARY:Opera Maine presents Rappahannock County
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Studio Artist Program will present two performances
  of Rappahannock County  which pairs the outstanding and celebrated 
 talents of composer Ricky Ian Gordon and librettist Mark Campbell. Rap
 pahannock County  is a theatrical song cycle that captures key emotion
 al\, sociological\, and historical moments in the Civil War. Much of the
  text was inspired by actual events and drawn from diaries\, letters\, a
 nd other accounts. The narrative follows the lines of history\, from sec
 ession in 1861 to defeat in 1865\, and is in five parts. Although the st
 ory is centered geographically in Virginia\, its themes are universal to
  the Civil War. It is described as such by Wes Blomster of Opera Today: 
 “The piece has the sense of a lens closing in on a spectrum of individ
 uals and their feelings around slavery and morality in a profound and po
 ignant way…’ Opera Maine’s production will premiere a special scor
 e composed for two pianos. Sung in English. 85 minutes with no intermiss
 ion.\n\nThere will be a pre-performance talk with Calien Lewis and a pos
 t-performance conversation with Dona D. Vaughn and the cast.\n\nTickets 
 are $35 with an additional $3 processing fee\nFree tickets for those 25 
 and under\n\nTO RESERVE SEATING 25 AND UNDER: CONTACT OPERA MAINE AT OPE
