The chorus and orchestra of Opera Philadelphia are bringing a unique experience to the stage in February.
In 2012, Opera Philadelphia wowed crowds with a pop-up performance of 'O Fortuna' from 'Carmina Burana' at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.
A decade later, the opera is staging 'Carmina Burana + Credo,' for a winter concert at The Academy of Music. "It's exciting," says Frank Luzi, Vice President of Opera Philadelphia. "Our stage is filled by the musicians of the Opera Philadelphia Orchestra and the singers of the Opera Philadelphia Chorus.The opera chose two pieces that would spotlight local artists.
The famous piece of music, 'Carmina Burana' is being performed, along with a 20-minute piece called 'Credo' by Margaret Bonds.Singers include soprano Brandie Sutton, tenor Alasdair Kent and baritone Ethan Vincent."Our local Philadelphia singers and musicians, who sometimes play a bit of a background role in an opera, now they're front and center," says Luzi."It's going to be my first concert in the Academy of Music," says González-Granados.
"What we hear should represent all parts of societies," says González-Granados, adding that it makes "a super interesting musical experience."
