Tomorrow, April 24, at the University of Wisconsin-Superior Theatre, a one-act Brontë-inspired opera will be performed:
Vicki Fingalson & Wendy Durrwachter
Directed by Vicki Fingalson
With Holland Venhuizen, Gianna Hopke and Emma Jones, and the UWS orchestra.
April 24, 19.30h
Professor Vicki Fingalson directs both productions and co-wrote "The Brontë Sisters: Retrospection." The biographical music-play is about the 19th-century literary trailblazers Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë. Fingalson took a sabbatical last year to research and write the play.
"It offers an intimate look at the extraordinary lives of these sisters," Fingalson said in a news release. "After completing the play, including the monologue and narrative portion, I collaborated with composer Wendy Durrwachter to set six curated Brontë poems to music, which fit within the narrative’s dramatic arc.”
The play debuted in November with Fingalson performing as all three sisters and Durrwachter playing piano. The new production features student actors Holland Venhuizen, Gianna Hopke and Emma Jones, and the UWS orchestra.
