Long Beach Opera: “The Fairy Queen”<br />
NEW!<br />
The Long Beach Opera (LBO) is the oldest opera company in the<br />
LA/OC region. Unlike other opera companies, LBO presents new,<br />
rarely performed and unconventional works. The Fairy Queen<br />
represents one of those rare and unconventional experiences—<br />
a gender-bending culture clash of social satire, re-imagining<br />
Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in our own multicultural<br />
America. Henry Purcell’s music is fused with Chicano<br />
updates from Culture Clash and Baroque overlays from Musica<br />
Angelica. Spoken text and movement combine with the music to<br />
create a truly unique experience—at once 17th century England<br />
and 21st century America.<br />
Jerold Kappel, LBO Executive Director and CEO, will offer insight<br />
into the origins of this opera, the social setting in which it was<br />
created and its rediscovery in the twentieth century. The presentation<br />
covers spoken word, visual images and musical sound.<br />
Jerold Kappel has directed major national and international<br />
programs, including the cultural and heritage tourism initiative of<br />
the White House Conference on Travel and Tourism. Mr. Kappel<br />
has served as a guest lecturer at many well-known universities and<br />
conferences. As Executive Director of LBO, he is committed to<br />
expanding its education and community engagement programs.<br />
