AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT

Lammermoor, Inc:   A Business Tragedy in Two Operas
May, 14 and 16, 2010

Stage Director/Choreographer:  TOM SEGAL     Music Director:  BRYAN BAKER


AUDITIONS:  On-going, by appointment, until March 21, or until all roles are cast

This fully-staged opera uses unmodified music from both “La Traviata” and “Lucia di Lammermoor” to tell a contemporary story about a business deal that ends in tragedy.  The story is told with supertitles that are not necessarily exact translations, but are always faithful to the character of the original work.  The story is engaging and timely.

Rehearsals begin April 11;  Performances are May 14 and 16, 2010 at the theater located at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley (Kensington address). Leads can anticipate a modest stipend -- covering no more than local transportation.
