Wednesday, June 8: Internationally Acclaimed Directors
The North American premiere of Niobe will be lead by a team of exceptional artists who have enjoyed critical and audience acclaim around the world. They draw upon the highest caliber of musicianship, artistry, and craftsmanship to shape this historical production. Years of intensive research have been employed to produce an extraordinarily entertaining experience. Tuesday, June 7: An International Cast
As will all Festival Centerpiece Operas, Niobe boasts an internationally acclaimed cast of opera singers. From returning favorites like Amanda Forsythe to superstar countertenor Philippe Jaroussky making his North American stage début, they have been rehearsing in Boston since mid-May. The 2011 Festival also sees the introduction of the BEMF Young Artists Training Program. The eight participants are asked to intensively study one of the main roles as an understudy while also performing in the Opera in a variety of supporting roles.
