Opera Saratoga Presents: Così Fan Tutte, Universal Preservation Hall, Saratoga Springs
IT’S QUITE ABSURD! THERE ARE SO FEW CONSTANT WOMEN IN THIS WORLD, AND HERE ARE TWO OF THEM!
WILL PROMISES MADE IN THE MORNING WITHSTAND A NIGHT OF FANTASY?
Mozart’s sparkling music collides with Da Ponte’s darkly funny libretto in this betting opera where the promise of perfect marriage competes with the temptation of earthly desire.
Directed by Gisela Cardenas and conducted by Ryan McAdams.
This production is sung in Italian with English supertitles.
Mozart and Da Ponte’s wager opera, “Così Fan Tutte,” stars Grammy™ nominated bass-baritone Aubrey Allicock as the cynical Don Alfonso who pits spirituality against materialism when he bets that love will not withstand immediate gratification. Directed by Gisela Cardenas (Princess Grace Fellow) and conducted by Ryan McAdams (Crash Ensemble, Opernhaus Zürich).

Yes Darling – Featuring Ryan Montbleau and Hayley Jane, Cohoes Music Hall, Cohoes, 8pm-10pm
Hayley sings. Ryan plays guitar and sings. Which means Ryan does more. Yeah, but Hayley puts way more time and effort into looking and sounding good on stage and is obviously the face of the project.
Led by the legendary Ryan Montbleau and commanded by the illustrious Hayley Jane, there is rarely a disagreement or power struggle within the project. The two get along like peas andcarrots. Except for when they don’t. But they do. Yeah, sometimes. Hayley, you’re ruining thisbio right now. Well Ryan, I told you to just let me do it! That never ends well. And you’resupposed to leave two spaces after the end of a sentence, I’ve had to go back and fix all ofyours. What? I have never heard of that in my entire life! Don’t fix that one. Ugh, fine. Let’s getback to writing about how great we are.

Opera Saratoga Presents: Guys and Dolls, Universal Preservation Hall, Saratoga Springs
A musical fable of Broadway based on a story and characters of Damon Runyon
Music and Lyrics by: Frank Loesser
Book by: Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
“NEW YORK’S OWN MUSICAL COMEDY—AS BRIGHT AS A DIME IN A SUBWAY GRATING, AS SMART AS A SIDEWALK PIGEON, AS PROFESSIONAL AS JOE DIMAGGIO, AS ENCHANTING AS THE SKYLINE, AS NEW AS THE PAPER YOU’RE HOLDING.” – NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, 1950
Featuring classic hits like “If I Were a Bell,” “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down (You’re Rockin’ the Boat),” Frank Loesser’s beloved gambling musical is a love letter to the precariousness of right now and the probability of getting through it (by the sharp lapels of our checkered coat).

Writer’s Read presents “Summer Camp”, The Linda, Albany, 2pm-5pm
Remember the joy of the last day of school? No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks!
Did you head off to a pristine lake somewhere—as a camper, counselor, or waiter—for a season of bugs and bug juice, friends and frenemies, cabins and canoes? Maybe you were the only kid in the neighborhood who didn’t attend camp, or perhaps you were a parent, suddenly free for four weeks.
Writers Read™ and the New York State Writers Institute present personal, 650-word summer camp stories from talented writers throughout New York’s Capital district—from Camp Chingachgook south to Coxsackie, and east of Amsterdam to Hoosick Falls!

Opera Saratoga Presents: Mad Scramble for Crumbs – Inti Figgis-Vizueta World Premiere Opera, Universal Preservation Hall, Saratoga Springs
THE GREATEST GAMBLE OF ALL!
A world premiere opera specifically written for Opera Saratoga festival artists, organically devised and composed during the summer season by award-winning
Composer-in-Residence inti figgis-vizueta.
A world premier opera, devised and composed during the summer season by composer-in-residence Inti Figgis-Vizueta, “whose music feels sprouted between structures, liberated from certainty and wrought from a language we’d do well to learn,” writes The Washington Post. Inti’s work explores the transformative power of group improvisation and play, working to reconcile historical aesthetics and experimental practices with trans & Indigenous futures. “The Festival Residency with Opera Saratoga is an incredible opportunity to explore the expressive world of contemporary opera, a first for me as a composer” Figgis-Vizueta says. “My highly collaborative approach to music making is a perfect match with this development-focused residency and I’m excited to organically create a work alongside a talented creative team.
