Beauty and the Beast, presented by Des Moines Metro Opera at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts
<p>Enjoy a twist on the classic fairytale with the world premiere tour of <em>Beauty and the Beast</em>! The characters of Belle’s world are obsessed with how they are perceived by the world around them. The Prince was the worst example of this until the Spirit of the Rose cursed him so that his body would reflect his soul, and everyone would see him for the beast he truly was. With the help of Belle, the Spirit of the Rose, and a magic mirror, the Beast will try to change his heart and break the curse.</p> 2023-03-17 21:00:00 -0500

La Traviata Opera
<p><strong>Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata </strong></p><p>Verdi saw the stage adaptation by Alexandre Dumas <em>fils</em> of his own 1848 novel <em>La Dame aux camélias</em> when he visited Paris in 1851-52. He was taken with the drama (and likely had already read the novel) and by March of 1853 <em>La traviata</em>, his operatic setting of the story, had its premiere. Though initially unsuccessful, the work soon became one of the world's most beloved operas, consistently ranking among the top 10 most performed. </p><p>In the whirling atmosphere of the Parisian demimonde young Alfredo Germont becomes enamored of the glamorous courtesan Violetta Valéry. Though he convinces her to go away with him and leave her sordid lifestyle, their happiness is marred by the machinations of his disapproving father. Surviving a duel with his perceived rival, Baron Duphol, Alfredo is restored to his love, but, alas, too late. Replete with some of Verdi’s most tuneful melodies, including the famous <em>Brindisi</em>, this gripping and emotional story of love and human frailty will engage the audience’s eye and ear from start to finish. </p>
