We know you're tired of the same old fancy-pants fundraising galas, and so are we. So this year, we said to ourselves: "Selves, why not have a little fun? All we want is to get together with our favorite people, see some of the artists we love do something fun, eat a little chocolate, drink a little bubbly, and raise a little money for the company." (Okay, a LOT of money - hey, we can dream, right?)
So our own Artistic Director, J. Sherwood Montgomery, and the lovely and talented San Diego stage veteran Kandis Chappell, who recently graced the stage as Madame Armfeldt in our critically acclaimed February production of A Little Night Music, will team up in A.R. Gurney’s Pulitzer-nominated play, Love Letters, on June 6, 2010 at the Birch North Park Theatre. Longtime Lyric Opera family member Joseph Grienenberger will serve as Musical Director.
Love Letters centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. They share the nearly 50 years of notes, letters and cards that have passed between them throughout their separate lives, in which they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats.
The one-night-only event is a benefit for our terrific Lyric Opera Summer Academy and will include a show, champagne, and dessert for only $40. That's right - I said JUST FORTY DOLLARS. Order tickets here or here or by calling our Box Office at (619) 239-8836.
