Ever heard a founding father sing opera in French?
Now's your chance. Well, kind of. Mark
your calendars for June 9th and 11th, when BYU puts on Berlioz's comic opera
Béatrice et Bénédict. This is the opera version of Shakespeare's
Much Ado About Nothing. Corey, er Claudio, stars in 1 song, some dialogue (in English), and a significant amount of stage time. The stage time is so everyone can have adequate time to admire his striking similarity to the Founding Fathers ... plus green knee-highs and a Wesley ponytail.
Béatrice et Bénédict will be playing in the de Jong concert hall June 8-11 (but come on the 9th or the 11th cause that's the Claudio you want to see and hear and admire). Tickets are on sale now, but unfortunately we don't get more than 2 comp tickets otherwise we'd get you all in for free in a New York second. :)
