HYANNIS – Some of the most powerful music of opera is actually not sung, but played.
In this unusual and unique event, the Cape Symphony will present beautiful and unforgettable symphonic moments of opera, letting the orchestra take center stage in Opera Without Words on Saturday, January 19 and Sunday, January 20.
With its mythic battle between the forces of good and evil, an inspiration for modern heroic sagas like Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings, Richard Wagner’s The Ring Cycle operas are legendary.
The Cape Symphony will perform The Ring, An Orchestral Adventure, which is an extraordinary arrangement of the most compelling moments from these epic operas. The piece requires an enormous orchestra to support the larger-than-life music – over 80 musicians will take the Cape Symphony stage.
Meanwhile, Ji-Hae Park, one of the most emotional and engaging violinists in the world will perform the fiery melodies from Bizet’s Carmen.
Jung-Ho Pak will provide an introduction for the event and Cape Conservatory Executive Director Stephanie Weaver will provide piano accompaniment on January 21st at the Cotuit Center for the Arts.
The Cape Symphony is proud to present Ji-Hae Park in Opera Without Words on Saturday, January 19 at 7:30 PM and Sunday, January 20 at 3:00 PM at the Barnstable Performing Arts Center.
