Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts - The Boor: A Comedic Opera by Dominick Argento
Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts presents The Boor - A Comedic Opera by Dominick Argento. Boors are worse than boring; they’re offensive and repulsive. To be a Boor is to be an obnoxious, unsophisticated oaf. "Less serious than I expected and very entertaining. It made me want to see some more opera.” Springboard Opera presents the comedic opera, The Boor. A compact, three-hander show that captures the hearts of audiences, this tale is a reminder to all that just when you think it’s all over, a new hope can suddenly change everything. A young widow sits alone in the drawing room of a country manor. Since her husband’s passing, she has shut out the world, with only the company of her more-than-slightly exasperated manservant. But life has a curve-ball lying in wait for her. The sudden appearance of a stranger, The Boor, jolts her out of her haze. The two engage in a tumultuous battle of wit and courage, ultimately sparking something new and… unexpected. Featuring some of the most prominent emerging operatic talents of South East Queensland (Dallas Tippet, Liam Jackson and Luisa Tarnawski) and Directed by Emma Nightingale, this production is bursting at the seams with local talent. This Lord Mayor's City Hall Concert is produced by Viva La Musica - Rhonda Davidson-Irwin. Image credit: Jordan Medic
