Toledo Opera’s March Production of Il Trovatore at The Maumee Performing Arts Center Toledo, OH – Owing to the explosion in the Valentine Theatre on November 23, 2007, the Theatre will not be reopened in time for Toledo’s Opera’s production of Il Trovatore. Toledo Opera has moved this production to the Maumee Performing Arts Center, 1147 Saco St. in Maumee, OH. The performances will be presented on the originally scheduled dates of Saturday, March 1, Friday, March 7 and Sunday, March 9, 2008. Toledo Opera feels fortunate to be performing in this state-of-the art theater facility. General & Artistic Director Renay Conlin said that “we are thrilled to find a beautiful performing facility at such a late date. Our audience will find the hall to be extremely comfortable and attractive.” The Opera has sent notices to all its subscribers and to all Il Trovatore single ticket holders notifying them of the change in venue. New tickets will be issued and mailed to them along with detailed directions to the Arts Center after the Opera Gala. Il Trovatore (The Troubadour) by Giuseppe Verdi is a true blood-and-thunder Italian opera and reflects the height of mid-19th century Romantic music. Two brothers, separated at birth, fall in love with the same woman and fight to the death for love and country. The opera has worldwide popularity because of its immense verve and unbridled temperament. It is filled with melodies that are stirring, passionate in expression and dramatic in effect. Toledo Opera’s production, in its alternative venue, has put together a cast of extraordinary singers that will bring this great opera to life. Tickets are available for all performances of Toledo Opera’s Il Trovatore on March 1, 7 and 9 at the Maumee Performing Arts Center. Call 419-255-7464 or click here to purchase tickets.
