VisionIntoArt-in-Residence: Opera Praktikos presents A concert presentation of La Sonnambula
About This Event
Opera Praktikos presents a concert presentation of La Sonnambula at National Sawdust with VisionIntoArt as the in-residence collective. VisionIntoArt is a rock/pop-oriented performance group in New York known for hybrid events that place music alongside literary material; their small streaming footprint and emphasis on concept and text signal a live-focused, interpretive framing of the opera.
About La sonnambula(opera)
La sonnambula is an opera semiseria in two acts, with music in the bel canto tradition by Vincenzo Bellini set to an Italian libretto by Felice Romani, based on a scenario for a ballet-pantomime written by Eugène Scribe and choreographed by Jean-Pierre Aumer called La somnambule, ou L'arrivée d'un nouveau seigneur. The ballet had premiered in Paris in September 1827 at the height of a fashion for stage works incorporating somnambulism.
