A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
by Stephen Sondheim
February 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 2010
7:30 pm Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays
2:30 pm Sundays



“A Little Night Music,” with a great waltz score by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler, is based on the Ingmar Bergman film “Smiles of a Summer Night,” and contains Sondheim’s best known tune, “Send In the Clowns.”  Sondheim himself has described the show as “whipped cream with knives” and we offer it in our season as a true American contender in the operetta repertoire, as well as an example of the best of Broadway.  This show is the most frequently produced American show in Europe’s opera houses, where it is known by its film title, “Smiles of a Summer Night,” and where it is considered a true modern masterwork.  The role of Desiree Armfeldt will be taken by Andrea Huber, who was so popular in our opening season production of Kalman’s “Countess Maritza,” and who has played in most of the major capitols of Austria and Germany.  Andrea is an example of the International reach of our company and we are proud to bring her home to America to share her artistry with our company. 
J. Sherwood Montgomery will design and direct and Leon Natker will conduct the full orchestra in this enchanting score that is really an escape for adults.  It is a very important part of our mission as a company to show and share these American masterpieces with our San Diego audiences, and teach the next generation of performers how to make these treasures live. These performances will win new converts to Sondheim and sophisticated musical theater of the highest caliber.

Ticket prices: $32, $37, $42, $47, $52

Sponsored by: Ron Oster/Ascent Real Estate
Co-presented by: Gay&Lesbian Times, flawles and
Bourbon Street
Running time: 119 minutes - Director: Herbert Ross

In a quaint, well-kept Louisiana hamlet a local group of women congregate at Truvy's (Dolly Parton) Beauty Spot, where they gossip and giggle while preparing one another for life's little tragedies and terrific triumphs. Lately the talk of the town has been M'Lynn Eatenton's (Sally Field) daughter Shelby (Julia Roberts)--betrothed to handsome young lawyer Jackson Latcherie (Dylan McDermott)--and her upcoming wedding. Quirky newcomer Annelle (Darryl Hannah) is Truvy's latest assistant, whose peculiar past is enough to gain her acceptance into the cliquish coffee klatch. And then there's mean-spirited Ouiser Boudreaux (Shirley MacLaine), whose extreme wealth and bad temperament has alienated her from the community even though she is still much loved by her loyal friends at the beauty parlor, including wealthy society maven Clairee Belcher (Olympia Dukakis). Much to her mother's dismay, Shelby's planning to have children, which is a serious health concern because she's severely diabetic. Luckily these steel magnolias can lean on one another for support in good and bad times. Also starring Tom Skerritt and
Sam Shephard.  http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi830865689/

PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND
Thursday, March 4, 2010
 8 pm

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band derives its name from Preservation Hall, the venerable music venue located in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, founded in 1961 by Allan and Sandra Jaffe. The band has traveled worldwide spreading their mission to nurture and perpetuate the art form of New Orleans Jazz. Whether performing at Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center, for British Royalty or the King of Thailand, this music embodies a joyful, timeless spirit. Under the auspices of current director, Ben Jaffe, the son of founders Allan and Sandra, Preservation Hall continues with a deep reverence and consciousness of its greatest attributes in the modern day as a venue, band, and record label.

The PHJB began touring in 1963 and for many years there were several bands successfully touring under the name Preservation Hall. Many of the band's charter members performed with the pioneers who invented jazz in the early twentieth century including Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and Bunk Johnson. Band leaders over the band's history include the brothers Willie and Percy Humphrey, husband and wife Billie and De De Pierce, famed pianist Sweet Emma Barrett, and in the modern day Wendell and John Brunious. These founding artists and dozens of others passed on the lessons of their music to a younger generation who now follow in their footsteps like the current lineup.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
by Gilbert & Sullivan
March 26, 28. April 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 2010
7:30 pm Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays
2:30 pm Sundays

“The Pirates of Penzance” was premiered in America before it was produced in London, so we really can make a claim that this is an “all American Masterpiece” season.  With this show Gilbert and Sullivan hit their mature stride, and the topsy-turvy world got its first unqualified success, as well as an immediate slot as a certified masterwork.  The excellence of the lyrics and score are an example of the very best in the tradition of musical theater. We have a long time company commitment to the presentation of these gems of the world tradition.  This is another example of a show which is suitable for the entire family, and a show which draws grandparents, mothers, fathers, and children who can cherish it as a memory and share in it with pleasure together. We will present the company debut of Egyptian bass, Ashraf Sewailam, as the Pirate King, a role he has played widely in the United Kingdom, as well as America. This brings a new artist to our city and our company and will provide a great professional example for the members of the cast.  Leon Natker will conduct and J. Sherwood Montgomery will again portray
the Major General.

DUO JAZZ PIANO CONCERT

MIKE WOFFORD
Part of the Jazz in North Park Series
Presented by Lyric Opera San Diego
Wednesday, April 7, 2010
7:00 PM 

The genius of pianist Mike Wofford can be found in his fluid, but hard swinging reharmonization of classic jazz standards, and improvisations that have earned him the esteem of critics and colleagues alike. His resume, which goes back to the ’60s West Coast jazz movement, includes stints as pianist for such giants as Shelly Manne, Stan Getz,  and Kenny Burrell, among many others.  A longtime San Diego resident, Wofford’s rare performances at home are always must-see shows for the best in innovative and original jazz. This duo piano concert features Wofford and highly regarded New York pianist Kenny Werner, lauded for his ability to perform at an exceptionally high level in all types of music, from out to stride. He has recorded with Mingus, Joe Lovano, Toots Thielemans  and a host of others. There are few performances in jazz that are as exciting, or as difficult, as duo piano. Both of these players are at the top of their craft and reputations.

Presented by Lyric Opera San Diego
Wednesday, May 5, 2010
7:00 PM

 

At age 23, guitarist Graham Dechter is just coming into his own. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Dechter is from a family of musicians. This performance marks the release of his debut CD, “Right on Time” on Capri Records, featuring drummer Jeff Hamilton and pianist Tamir Hendeman. It is also Dechter’s San Diego performance debut. "Once in a blue moon a talent comes along who grabs everyone's attention. Graham is the most recent one to grab MY attention,” Hamilton says of his protege. “His dedication, work ethic, awareness and musical sensibility has brought him to this point in his young career. This is only the beginning.” His first-ever CD includes such tunes as “The Nearness of You” and the Ellington-Johnny Hodges cut “Squatty Roo.”  Citing what it calls “Dechter’s good taste,” The All Music Guide to Jazz says “Right on Time” is “a sure sign of the rarest of commodities - a virtuosic guitarist with nothing to prove.”

Film: SERIAL MOM (1994)
MONTHLY SCREENING SERIES
Special Engagement: FilmOut San Diego
May 19, 2010
7:00 PM



Sponsored by: Ron Oster/Ascent Real Estate
Co-presented by: Gay&Lesbian Times, flawles and
Bourbon Street
Running time: 95 minutes  Director: John Waters

John Waters hilarious comedy starring Kathleen Turner as Beverly Sutphin - the perfect suburban housewife and mother. She likes to cook, her home is immaculately clean, she's always well-groomed and cheerful, and she loves her husband Eugene (Sam Waterston) and her two children, Misty (Ricki Lake) and Chip (Matthew Lillard). There's just one problem with Beverly -- if you do anything to make someone in her family feel bad, you're dead meat on a stick. While she does a great job of hiding it, Beverly has a vicious and vengeful streak, and when she's not making obscene prank calls to the neighbors or bribing her garbagemen to save embarrassing items from her neighbors' trash, she's mowing down whoever would be so rude as to make her husband go into his office on a Saturday, break up with her daughter, or suggest that her son watches too many horror movies.  Serial Mom captures a comfortable middle ground between Hollywood professionalism and Waters' subversive sense of humor, and Turner has a field day as the sweet-on-the-outside, evil-on-the-inside Beverly. The supporting cast includes such Waters favorites as Patty Hearst, Traci Lords, Mink Stole, Susan Lowe; Joan Rivers and Suzanne Somers appear as themselves, and all-female grunge-metal band L7 plays the all-female grunge-metal band Camel Toe.
