SUMMARY:Opera Essentia
DESCRIPTION:5th Anniversary BENEFIT\nThe final performance of “Lost in Cyprus”\, the company’s one hour Distillation of Handel’s Tolomeo (1728). This saga of longing for a lost (or new) love\, and its accompanying harsh jealousy\, unfolds in bittersweet beauty\, one ravishing aria after another. Obsession\, poisoning\, betrayal… What’s in store for the hounded Seleuce or the wretched Tolomeo? \nLight reception to follow \nPatron Ticket ~ $250\n​Sponsor Ticket ~ $150\n​Benefit Ticket ~ $75\nPay-What-You-Wish ~ $10 and up\n​Seats are first come\, first served\nPurchase tickets below or click here \nSt. Malachy’s Church — The Actor’s Chapel\n​239 West 49th Street\, Manhattan \nYour support will help Opera Essentia provide under-reached communities with a transfixing art form\, for FREE. We curate Handel’s little-known stage works into one-hour\, approachable performances in New York City gardens\, libraries\, and other neighborhood gathering centers. Contrasting opera’s usually expensive and exclusionary productions\, these performances are offered free of charge in Alphabet City\, Crown Heights\, Flushing\, and other locales where the community has little opportunity to witness live classical music. Handel’s deeply expressive writing for the human voice reaches the pinnacle of emotion in art. Opera Essentia offers this in a concise one-act format\, performed by a diverse company of expert musicians\, delivering a transformational experience that all can enjoy.
