蜜柚直播

There鈥檚 wonderfully rich, often stark and sometimes brooding music with nods to Western tunes and soaring, emotional vocal turns that bring to life a dark and mysterious story worthy of a Hollywood thriller.

The feature film, which had a weeklong run at Harkins Theatres in 蜜柚直播 and Scottsdale in October, is now streaming on 蜜柚直播 Opera鈥檚 . Don鈥檛 be surprised if come spring the company enters the film in a handful of festivals.

Here are four reasons why the movie might just turn a few heads among festival judges.

Compelling story: Addison Moore (mezzo-soprano ) has come to Bisbee鈥檚 from the East Coast and checked into Room 315. She knows the ghost stories, that the room is haunted by Julia Lowell (soprano ), a beautiful young woman who killed herself in that room after years of being forced by her abusive father (baritone ) to service the town鈥檚 miners 100 years earlier. Moore, who is grieving the loss of her grandmother, has come to uncover Julia鈥檚 secrets and reveal her own that bind her to Julia, that room and the legacy that connects them.

Wonderful score: Composer Clint Borzoni, whom 蜜柚直播 Opera commissioned for the work, has written a score that breathes the Wild West, sometimes dark and brooding but with an undercurrent of light and hope as John de los Santos鈥� story unfolds one crushing disappointment and harsh rebuke after another. The score also includes a number of duets that were lush and effective.

Impressive filmmaking: It is hard watching this movie to think that this is a first for 蜜柚直播 Opera. It is truly a beautiful film that also feels like a traditional opera. That鈥檚 largely due to and veteran opera director , making her feature film directing debut. Manich employed the same techniques she would have used in a live staged production in the film, including using lighting and shadows to transition from 1910 to 2010. She also kept the action to a single room so that it felt like you were watching it at 蜜柚直播 Music Hall.

About those voices: Coti has a warm mezzo that brought out Addison鈥檚 vulnerability and inner strength as she tries to communicate with Julia鈥檚 ghost and learn her secrets while keeping one of her own. Lyric tenor brought a shimmering innocence and sincerity to the role of Theodore Billings, a regular client of Julia鈥檚 who made promises he couldn鈥檛 keep to take her away from her nightmare. Becerra, with her rich, nuanced soprano, inhabited the role of Julia, creating a character that we sympathized with but never pitied. Her soaring soprano was best showcased in her arias and duets with Dennis and Coti.

Thanks to 蜜柚直播 Opera Music Director Christopher Cano, it looks like the cast is singing live. The vocals were actually pre-recorded with the 蜜柚直播 Opera Orchestra, under the baton of Daniela Candillari, but Cano had the cast sing live during filming to make the vocal tracking easier.

“The Copper Queen” will stream on , , through Jan. 4, 2022. The cost is $30 for unlimited views.
