New-to-Cincinnati Production

La Bohème
Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa

The 2022 season sweeps in on a romantic high with one of the most famous love stories ever sung. Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème has captivated audiences for generations with its unforgettable music and sweetly sentimental tale of young bohemian lovers in Paris. It all begins in a cold apartment on Christmas Eve, where the penniless poet Rodolfo prepares to celebrate with friends on the city’s bustling streets. But with a quiet knock on the door, he meets Mimì, whose single candle has gone out. While searching for a match in the dark, hands touch, sparks fly, and lives change forever.

Soprano Talise Trevigne, who dazzled Cincinnati audiences in the title role of The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess (2019), portrays Mimì with tenor Ji-Min Park (Alfredo in Cincinnati Opera’s La Traviata, 2018) as Rodolfo. Soprano Raven McMillon, a 2021 winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, sings the role of Musetta, and baritone Rodion Pogossov (Marcello), bass-baritone André Courville (Colline), and baritone Ethan Vincent (Schaunard) appear as Rodolfo’s trio of artistic friends. Baritone Thomas Dreeze sings the roles of Alcindoro and Benoit, and tenor Houston Tyrrell is Parpignol.

Our new-to-Cincinnati production, originally created for Opéra de Montréal by designer Olivier Landreville, brings a colorful, whimsical vision of the City of Light to the Music Hall stage. Stage director is Alain Gauthier, and Mark Gibson, director of orchestral studies at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM), will conduct. Lighting design is by Thomas C. Hase, and wig and makeup design is by James Geier. Chorus master is Henri Venanzi.

A collaboration with WordPlay Cincy, the Music Resource Center−Cincinnati (MRC), and i.imagine—three arts organizations serving Greater Cincinnati youth—Fierce was originally slated to debut in summer 2020 and has been rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Northern Kentucky-based novelist Sheila Williams interviewed WordPlay and MRC participants to inspire her libretto, while Cincinnati native William Menefield employed jazz, modern, and classical music styles in the opera’s high-energy score. Teenage girls participating in i.imagine’s photography program will partner with Cincinnati Opera to promote the production to their peers.

The girls at the center of Fierce will be sung by mezzo-soprano Megan Graves (Rumer), soprano Victoria Ellington (Nyomi), soprano Alicia Russell (Morgan), and mezzo-soprano Lauren McAllister (Vesta).

Springer Auditorium | Cincinnati Music Hall

Gilbert and Sullivan’s perfectly preposterous comic operetta The Pirates of Penzance sets sail at Music Hall in July 2022. Frederic, an orphan apprenticed to a lively band of pirates, is soon to celebrate his 21st birthday, when he’ll be free to pursue a life—and love—all his own. The charming Mabel catches his eye, and she’s supremely smitten in return. But the crafty Pirate King finds a loophole in Frederic’s contract, setting the young lovers’ future upon stormy seas. Will Frederic and Mabel steer their way to a happily-ever-after?

Bursting with memorable tunes and rapid-fire laughs, our production of The Pirates of Penzance is a modern, major spectacle, featuring vivid sets and costumes originally created for Opera Theatre of Saint Louis by designer James Schuette. David Agler conducts, with stage direction and choreography by Seán Curran. Lighting design is by Thomas C. Hase, with wig and makeup design by James Geier. Chorus master is Henri Venanzi.

A veteran in the role of Major-General Stanley, bass-baritone Patrick Carfizzi “brings down the house” with his “impeccable” (Times of San Diego) patter singing and comic timing. Zachary James offers a “striking bass voice and a tremendously magnetic presence” (Opera News) as the swashbuckling Pirate King. Tenor Matthew White, who last appeared with Cincinnati Opera as Gounod’s Romeo, joins soprano Lauren Snouffer, who offers “beautifully clear, unaffected singing … informed with intelligence and wit” (Opera News), as the lovebirds Frederic and Mabel. Mezzo-soprano Catherine Keen is Frederic’s nursemaid Ruth. Completing the cast are bass Samuel Smith as the Sergeant of Police, baritone Mark Diamond as Samuel, soprano Marlen Nahhas as Edith, mezzo-soprano Jasmin White as Kate, and mezzo-soprano Christina Hazen as Isabel.

Originally commissioned for Cincinnati Opera’s 100th anniversary in 2020 and postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Castor and Patience receives its much-anticipated world premiere in July 2022. With music by Gregory Spears, composer of the company’s acclaimed 2016 commission Fellow Travelers, and an original libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winner and former U.S. poet laureate Tracy K. Smith, the opera centers on two cousins from an African American family who find themselves at odds over the fate of a historic parcel of land they have inherited in the American South. Deeply relevant to ongoing calls for racial justice, Castor and Patience probes historical and continuing obstacles to Black land ownership in the United States.

At the podium is conductor Kazem Abdullah, and Kevin Newbury (Fellow Travelers) directs. The new production will be created by Vita Tzykun (scenic design), Jessica Jahn (costume design), Rachel Eliza Griffiths (image design), S. Katy Tucker (projection design), Thomas C. Hase (lighting design), and James Geier (wig and makeup design).

A renowned interpreter of contemporary opera, soprano Talise Trevigne is Patience, and baritone Reginald Smith Jr., who represented the U.S. at the prestigious BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition last year, is Castor. They’re joined by a stellar supporting cast: mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano (Celeste), soprano Victoria Okafor (Willie), baritone Benjamin Taylor (West), tenor Frederick Ballentine (Judah), and soprano Raven McMillon (Ruthie). Soprano Amber Monroe, mezzo-soprano Zoie Reams, tenor Victor Ryan Robertson, baritone Phillip Bullock, and bass Earl Hazell make up the opera’s ensemble.

Aida
Music by Giuseppe Verdi
Libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni

Springer Auditorium | Cincinnati Music Hall

The 2022 season closes with the grandest of grand operas, Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida. As war rages between enemy nations, a forbidden love burns brightly between Radamès, an Egyptian warrior, and Aida, his captive. But Aida’s keeping a secret of her own—she’s the daughter of the Ethiopian king and deeply devoted to her people. Will she betray Radamès to save her nation or risk everything to follow her heart?

From its passionate romance to its thunderous “Triumphal March,” which features a 60-voice chorus, Aida is the definition of “epic.” Our production evokes the opulence of Ancient Egypt with its “lavish design” (Pittsburgh Theater) by Claude Girard and Bernard Uzan and will be helmed by stage director Crystal Manich with Christopher Allen conducting. Lighting design is by Thomas C. Hase and wig and makeup design is by James Geier. Chorus master is Henri Venanzi.

Making her company debut in the title role is soprano Mary Elizabeth Williams, who possesses a voice with “a gleaming top and luxuriant richness” (The Guardian, U.K.), and tenor Gregory Kunde brings a “robust voice” with “clear, strong, focused tone” (The New York Times) as Radamès. Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano and Metropolitan Opera regular Tichina Vaughn is the imperious Egyptian princess Amneris, while baritone Gordon Hawkins, who appeared as Amonasro in the company’s 2013 production, reprises the role. Bass Morris Robinson, Cincinnati Opera’s artistic advisor, is Ramfis. Soprano Jennifer Cherest sings the High Priestess with bass Peixin Chen as the King of Egypt and tenor Houston Tyrrell as A Messenger.

Robison also announced two new community-based initiatives that will begin after the opening of the new mainstage theatre complex in 2023:

  • The Resident Artists program will enable local artists to utilize Playhouse resources to enhance their own creative endeavors. Cincinnati-based theatre artists Curtis D. Shepard and Derek J.

About The Sunset Players
The Sunset Players, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 1979 as a community theatre group with the mission of bringing quality, affordable theatre to the Greater Cincinnati region. The group performs at the Arts Center at Dunham and has produced more than 148 shows since it was founded. Winner of hundreds of awards from the Association of Community Theatre (ACT) of Cincinnati, Sunset Players’ mission was significantly expanded in 2012 with the lease of the historic Dunham Arts Building from the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, saving the facility from probable demolition. Located in the heart of the Tri-State area in the historic West Side of Cincinnati, the mission of the Arts Center at Dunham, established as a dba of The Sunset Players in 2012 for management of the facility, is to make community adventures in the arts available and affordable for the entire Greater Cincinnati region. With low-cost studio rental for local artists and quality family friendly programming, often free, Sunset Players believes the arts have the power to bring communities together.

Any individuals or businesses interested in learning more about Sunset Players, including auditions for productions or volunteer opportunities, restoration of the historic facility, or renting studio or event space, please contact us at www.sunsetplayerscincy@gmail.com or 513-588-4988.

About the Arts Center at Dunham
During the COVID shutdown, the Arts Center at Dunham has been able to make several upgrades to improve the audience experience. Courtesy of a grant from the Hamilton County CARES Relief Program for assistance to arts and cultural organizations, the Arts Center has installed viral mitigation equipment within the HVAC systems and obtained an emist electrostatic disinfection system to clean the theater before/after each performance. The theater will follow local, state and federal requirements related to COVID for the health and safety of our patrons, volunteers and actors.

Sound systems have been enhanced, and an assistive listening system obtained to enhance the experience of our hearing impaired guests, courtesy of a generous Small Arts Organizations Award from Summerfair. Finally, The Sunset Players are a recipient of an ArtsWave Catalyzing Impact Grant that will be used to fund the 2022-2023 Arts Center at Dunham FREE Family Fun Series. This is a matching grant, so attendance and support of the Sunset Players and the Arts Center at Dunham will help fully fund this opportunity for all to experience the incredible creative and performing arts that Cincinnati has to offer.

Unfortunately, the Arts Center at Dunham is not wheelchair accessible.  This is one of our many remaining funding needs. Attendees must be able to navigate 2 short flights of stairs, both with handrails. There are 3-4 steps from the outside to the Box Office/Lower Lobby and another 6 from that level to the theater level. Patrons with difficulty walking longer distances, or on uneven surfaces, can be dropped off by the walkway to the front entrance of the facility.

OLIVER! performances will take place August 5-7 & 12-14, 2022.

The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.

Our next production in the 2022 – 2023 season will be THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, based on the novel by Mark Haddon, Adapted by Simon Stephens.

Performances are September 16-18 & 23-25, 2022.

15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. Now it is 7 minutes after midnight, and Christopher stands beside his neighbor’s dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world.

The first musical of the 2022 – 2023 season at Springboro Community Theatre will be THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, with music and lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin, conceived by Rebecca Feldman with additional material by Jay Reiss.

Performances are set for November 11-13 & 18-20, 2022.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.

Our first Youth Program production will present a series of one-acts from the Marvel Spotlight collection – HAMMERED: A Thor & Loki Play, by Christian Borle (Based on the Marvel Comics by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber & Jack Kirby) and MIRROR OF MOST VALUE: A Ms. Marvel Play, by Masi Asare (Based on the Marvel Comics by G. Willow Wilson, Adrian Alphona & Sara Amanat).

When a strange Terrigen Mist descended upon Jersey City, Kamala Khan was imbued with polymorphic powers. Her life was changed forever and so were the lives of her family and friends. Using her newfound abilities to fight evil and protect Jersey City, she became the all new Ms. Marvel!

The next musical at Springboro Community Theatre in the 2022 – 2023 season will be RENT (Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson).

Going up March 3-5 & 10-12, 2023.

Based loosely on Puccini’s La Boheme, Jonathan Larson’s Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.

In the Spring, we will present our final play of the season – THE OUTSIDER.
Written by Paul Slade Smith, this production will hold performances April 21-23 & 28-30, 2023.

Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for… the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

To wrap up our 2022 – 2023 season, the final production will be our youth musical – CYRANO DE BURGER SHACK, a modern retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand with a book by Jeremy Desmon, and featuring hit contemporary pop music!

Performances are June 16-18 & 23-25, 2023.

Cyrano is king of the local Burger Shack, but he can’t seem to win the love of his best friend, Roxanne. When Roxanne confesses her crush on the new burger-flipper, Christian, Cyrano decides that playing Cupid is better than sitting out of the game. An updated, modern-day version of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, this rollicking musical features hit contemporary pop songs that will have audiences cheering.

TC_2022 Summer Season logoSEASON TO RUN JUNE THROUGH AUGUST IN REPERTORY FORMAT

COVINGTON, Ky. (January 28, 2022) – Exciting changes are coming to The Carnegie and its Theatre Series. A brand-new summer season will take the stage June through August with three thrilling shows and the option to add on a winter production for the whole family.

Then the season will finish with the world premiere of GEORGE REMUS, A New Musical, which shares the shocking story of a local bourbon runner who made a killing during prohibition only to lose it all when accused of murdering his wife. Some say George was even the inspiration for The Great Gatsby. It’s a Cincinnati story with all the intrigue of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. The summer season will run in a repertory format. Instead of offering one show and closing it before offering the next show, titles will overlap throughout the summer allowing theatergoers their choice of multiple shows in one weekend or the ability to come back to catch a favorite performance again.

A penniless German Immigrant who settled in the Cincinnati area, George Remus became a pharmacist, then a lawyer, and eventually the most famous bootlegger of them all. He had government politicians in his pocket, the Chicago mob at his feet, and the perfect scheme for selling barrels and barrels of whiskey during the era of prohibition and speakeasies. With a lavish mansion on a hill and over-the-top parties, Remus was a millionaire playboy worth millions in 1922 – some even say he was the real Jay Gatsby.  His legendary rise and fall are now the subject of this new musical.

The Carnegie presented a staged reading of this new musical at The Covington Plaza amphitheater in May of 2021. Now see a full-fledged production in our gorgeous, historic theatre.

Winter Series Add-on

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN
Screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green
Songs by Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown
Based on the classic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures, Inc.
Playing January 28 – February 12, 2023

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline – the starlet, the leading man, and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers. In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item but, behind the scenes, things aren’t always as they appear on the big screen. Meanwhile, Lina’s squeaky voice might be the end of her career in “talking pictures” without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.

The “Greatest Movie Musical of All Time” is lovingly adapted for the stage, with each unforgettable scene, song and dance accounted for, including the show-stopping title number, complete with an onstage rainstorm! Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue, and a hit-parade of popular songs like “Good Mornin,” “Moses Supposes,” and “Broadway Melody” make SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN the perfect entertainment for any fan of the golden age of movie musicals.

Ten Performances:

  • Saturday, January 28, 7:30 p.m.
