Palm Beach Opera offers unique intimate experience to learn about opera

Palm Beach Opera will host Lunch & Learn for Macbeth on January 16, 2014 at 12:00 PM at The Royal Poinciana Chapel in Palm Beach.  The seated luncheon will be followed by explanation of the opera being presented the following week at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. Guests are informed through lecture, anecdote, and performance by the artistic staff and Palm Beach Opera’s Young Artists. Special guests will be Director, Bernard Uzan and Conductor, David Stern who will be on hand to provide additional insight and commentary.

Tickets for Lunch & Learn are $75 each and can be purchased by calling 561-833-7888 or online at www.pbopera.org.

The mainstage production of Macbeth runs January 24 – 26, 2014 at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.

Shakespeare’s gripping tale of temptation, ambition and murder comes to the opera stage set to the intense music of Giuseppe Verdi, as Macbeth and his power-hungry Lady Macbeth embark on a bloody course to take the Scottish throne. You’ll be on the edge of your seat watching the hair-raising drama instigated by other-worldly witches and ghost apparitions, and swept away by the powerful orchestral melodies and arias.

Experience Verdi’s full throttle opera with PBO audience favorite Michael Chioldi (“big, open, baritone…power, lyricism to do justice to Verdi”– Chicago Tribune) and Luis Ledesma (“commanded the stage with a rich, well controlled baritone”– Opera News) sharing the title role. The famous sleepwalking scene of Lady Macbeth interpreted by Csilla Boross (“roof raising and electric performance”– Baltimore Sun) and Jennifer Check’s (“rare talent that can send shivers down a listener’s spine”– New York Times) is an experience that will leave you breathless.

Tickets start at $25 and are available at 561-833-7888 or www.pbopera.org. Tickets are also available at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts at 561-832-7469 or www.kravis.org.
