DPH_Mornings at Seven logoMORNING’S AT SEVEN
Dayton Theatre Guild
Aug. 20-Sept. 5
[Dayton]

Directed by Rick Flynn
Produced by Christina Tomazinis

Cast: Dave Nickel as Theodore Swanson, Dorothy Michalski as Cora Swanson, Tori Tuccillo as Aaronetta Gibbs, Cheryl Mellen as Ida Bolton, Richard Young as Carl Bolton, Jeff Sams as Homer Bolton, Heather Atkinson as Myrtle Brown, Barbara Jorgensen as Esther Crampton & Charles Larkowski as David Crampton

This 1939 comedy tells the story of four aging sisters who live in a small mid-western town, and their long-standing sibling rivalries. Three of them — Ida, Cora and Arry — have lived next door to each other for fifty years, and Esther, the eldest, lives only a few blocks away. We quickly learn that living so close to one another has taken its toll. Some start to question their lives and decide to make some changes before it’s too late. In 1980, MORNING’S AT SEVEN was nominated for the Tony award for Best Revival of a Play.

THE BARBER OF SEVILLE Runs July 24-29

CO_The Barber of SevilleTHE BARBER OF SEVILLE
Cincinnati Opera
July 24-29
Summit Park [Blue Ash]

Based on the play of the same name by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, The Barber of Seville introduces us to Figaro, the titular barber bursting with bravado. He’s enlisted by the lovelorn Count Almaviva to win the heart of the clever and comely Rosina. Rossini’s masterful, laugh-out-loud comedy (the prequel to The Marriage of Figaro) is packed with rapid-fire punchlines and toe-tapping melodies—from one of the world’s most famous overtures to the instantly recognizable “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!” of “Largo al factotum.” With whimsy, wit, and plenty of woo, The Barber of Seville reminds us that, as Beaumarchais once said, “Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough.”

TOSCA Runs July 23-31

CO_ToscaTOSCA
Cincinnati Opera
July 23-31
Summit Park [Blue Ash]

In the city of Rome during a time of political turmoil, the tempestuous opera diva Floria Tosca is madly in love with the painter Mario Cavaradossi. When Tosca’s lover becomes entangled in a crime and is condemned to death, the lecherous police chief Scarpia insists only one thing can save him: Tosca herself. One of the best-loved operas of all time, Tosca is a passionate melodrama suffused with political intrigue—a roller-coaster ride of love, power, and betrayal told through unforgettable music, including Tosca’s sweeping aria “Vissi d’arte.”
