The Telephone & The Old Maid and the Thief
By Gian Carlo Menotti
Opera Pro Cantanti’s first foray into the realm of comic opera. This
double-bill of hilarious and charming works by the American
twentieth-century composer, Gian Carlo Menotti is a treat for everyone.
The Telephone is a love story set emphatically in the modern era. Ben
has to leave on an important business trip, and hopes to propose to
Lucy before he goes. There is only one problem—Lucy simply will not
get off the telephone. Even Ben’s desperate attempt to cut the
telephone cord can’t sever the relationship between Lucy and her true
love. If Ben means to win Lucy’s hand, he needs to think of another
approach—and quickly.
OPC’s production of The Telephone stars soprano Susannah Britnell as
Lucy and baritone Christopher Kovarik as Ben, with Juan Wang at the
piano.

Steve Szabo,Charlie Knowles
This high-energy acoustic 7-piece inspires toe tapping and dancing to
some fabulous old Gypsy jazz tunes of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s featuring
chanteuse Deanna Knight, Bassist Charlie Knowles "kicks the cat" with
finesse while guitarist Steve "Bugzy" Szabo keeps the rhythms chugging.
Martian Ambassador Michael Dunn and jazz veteran Don Kellett on lead
guitars spin their sweet Djangoesque lines, and resident windgod Mark
Dowding keeps those Martian desert winds blowing hot, while violinist
Tom Neville channels the spirit of Django's brilliant colleague, the
late, great Stephane Grappelli.
