Béatrice et Bénédict
by Hector Berlioz
Based on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Berlioz’ lovely, luminous Béatrice et Bénédict stars Julie Boulianne, whose “truly lush lyric mezzo-soprano” (Opera News) is bringing her wide acclaim, and Sean Panikkar, a “dashing tenor with apt stage presence and a full-voiced, exceptional sound” (Opera News). Mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor (last seen here as Federico García Lorca in Ainadamar) appears as Ursule and Heather Buck returns as Héro.
Sung in French with English titles
