June 2008 Presentations

TWELFTH NIGHT; OR, WHAT YOU WILL

June 4,5,6,7, 7:30 pm
“Twelfth Night, or What you Will, unites the entertainment of an intrigue, contrived with great ingenuity, to a rich fund of comic characters and situations, and the beauteous colours of an ethereal poetry.  In most plays, Shakespeare treats love more as an affair of the imagination that the heart; but here he has taken particular care to remind us that, in his language, the same word, fancy, signified both fancy and love.”

Presented by The Yarmouth Drama Society and directed by Jeremy Watkins.

CARMEN
by Georges Bizet

June 13, 8 pm

A Maritime Concert Opera Presentation

Set in Seville around the year 1830, the opera deals with the love and
jealousy of Don Jose, who is lured away from his duty as a soldier and his
beloved Micaela by the gypsy factory-girl Carmen, whom he allows to escape
from custody.  He is later induced to join the smugglers with whom Carmen is
associated, but is driven wild by jealousy.  This comes to a head when
Carmen makes clear her preference for the toreador Escamillo.  The last act,
outside the bull-ring in Seville, brings Escamillo to the arena, accompanied
by Carmen, there stabbed to death by Don Jose, who has been awaiting her
arrival.
