[BROADCAST] Wolf Trap Opera UNTRAPPED: Merlin's Island (on-demand through 12/1/2020)
Free
Christoph Willibald Glück – L'île de Merlin, ou Le monde renversé ("Merlin's Island, or the World Upended")
Two Parisians are shipwrecked on an island paradise where the rich marry the poor, lawyers are always honest, spouses are always faithful, and artists are wealthier than businessmen. Heaven? Not quite. A takeoff on 18th century French vaudeville, Merlin’s Island is brimming with inspired music, beautiful ensembles, and heartwarming characters.
About the series: Wolf Trap Opera (WTO) is a summer residency program of Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, offering emerging professional singers one of the best career development and performing experiences in the nation. Through a rigorous annual audition tour, WTO selects its artists from among the best classical vocalists in the country.
UNTRAPPED performances take WTO artists into various communities in the larger DC area, bringing the thrill of live vocal music to new places and unexpected spaces.
