April 1, 3m, 5, 7, 9, 2011
At The Newmark Theatre in Portland, Oregon.
L’HEURE ESPAGNOLE
The Spanish Hour—This racy little romp will have you giggling. Set in the 18th century, it frolics along the edge of fantasy and farce. Bored with her husband who tends the city’s clocks each week, Concepción finds others to tend to her needs. But this week is different ... much to the audiences’ enjoyment!
L’ENFANT ET LES SORTILÈGES
The Bewitched Child—A young boy is sent to his room without dinner for misbehaving. What does he do? He pitches a fit, tearing up the room, his toys and his books ... all of which spring back to life, phantoms of his own imagination, to torment him! In the end, he learns a very important lesson.
Both operas are sung in French with English translations projected above the stage.
Performance time is approximately 2 hours, including 1 intermission.
