MANSFIELD — Mid-Ohio Civic Opera returns to The Mansfield Playhouse on Nov. 12-13.
“Die Winterreise” (The Winter Journey) is Franz Schubert’s most celebrated song cycle, renowned as one of the most beautiful and complex of the German song tradition.
It will be presented in a new dramatic fully staged version at The Mansfield Playhouse on Friday, Nov. 12, and Saturday, Nov. 13, with both shows at 8 p.m.
Tickets are available at https://mansfieldplayhouse.com and will also be sold at the door.
The show will also be presented Nov. 17 at Zion Lutheran Church in Wooster. It will be presented as a recital. Admission is free for the Wooster recital performance, with donations accepted after the concert.
“Andrew Potter, bass, has garnered increasing demand across the country for his larger than life stage presence and voice to match. Of his recent performance in L’elisir d’amore, Opera Today hailed, “With his huge, all‐encompassing bass voice and precise comic timing he nearly stole the show.”
“Eric Trudel, pianist and vocal coach, won the prestigious Prix d’Europe competition, which enabled him to study privately with pianists Garrick Ohlsson, Jean-Claude Pennetier, Marc Durand and Louis Lortie.
A native of Quebec, Canada, he graduated from the Quebec Conservatory of Music with the highest honours. He has worked as a pianist at the Banff Center Festival for the Arts, L’Opéra de Montréal, Connecticut Grand Opera, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, the OK MOZART Festival and the Pro Arte Singers.”
