Light Opera of Portland & Oregon Chorale: 'Trial by Jury'
$20 ($15 student/senior, ages 17 & under free)
The Oregon Chorale and Light Opera of Portland join forces for a special performance showcasing 19th-century English composer Arthur Sullivan. The concert will feature Sullivan's sacred work, the Festival Te Deum, for choir, keyboard, and soprano soloist. This lesser-known work from 1872 comprises seven movements with traditional sacred text.
The concert's second half will showcase Sullivan's comedic side with the popular 1875 Trial by Jury, one of the first works Sullivan wrote with poet W. S. Gilbert. The one-act operetta tells the story of a "breach of promise of marriage" lawsuit while poking fun at the legal system.
