Sarah Joyce Cooper, Soprano
Jesus Daniel Hernandez, Tenor
Okoye | Inside Is What Remains
The ECSO will tie a red-white-and-green bow around its 2024-25 season with a program of achingly romantic duets from famous Italian operas—La bohème and Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini and Il trovatore and La traviata by Giuseppe Verdi—performed by soprano Sarah Joyce Cooper and Mexican-born tenor Jesús Daniel Hernández. The Eastern Connecticut Symphony Chorus will join the orchestra for “Va, pensiero (Go, thought, on wings of gold)” from Verdi’s Nabucco, the chorus of the Hebrew slaves, an anthem of Italian unification and, later, of other oppressed peoples. A special addition to the program is a version for soprano and chorus—sung by Cooper and the ECSC—of Nkeiru Okoye’s Inside Is What Remains, with a text by the composer, commissioned by Tulsa Opera for the Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Memorial Concert in 2021. The orchestra will also play the stirring overtures to Verdi’s La forza del destinoand Luisa Miller, the triumphal march from his Aida, and the intermezzo from Puccini’s Manon Lescaut.

Rigoletto is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi. The Italian libretto was written by Francesco Maria Piave based on the 1832 play Le roi s’amuse by Victor Hugo. Despite serious initial problems with the Austrian censors who had control over northern Italian theaters at the time, the opera had a triumphant premiere at La Fenice in Venice on 11 March 1851. The work, Verdi’s sixteenth in the genre, is widely considered to be the first of the operatic masterpieces of Verdi’s middle-to-late career.
The tragic story revolves around the licentious Duke of Mantua, his hunch-backed court jester Rigoletto, and Rigoletto’s daughter Gilda. The opera’s original title, La Maledizion (The Curse), refers to a curse placed on both the Duke and Rigoletto by the Count Monterone, whose daughter the Duke has seduced with Rigoletto’s encouragement. The curse comes to fruition when Gilda falls in love with the Duke and sacrifices her life to save him from the assassin hired by her father.
This is a full-scale, traditional Italian production with beautiful sets and costumes created in Europe.
English supertitles.

Teatro Lirico D’Europa
Teatro Lirico D’Europa was created in 1988 by the late Yves Josse, a former ballet divo and brilliant French arts promoter, and Giorgio Lalov, a young Bulgarian opera singer who made his debut at Teatro alla Scala, Milan, at the age of 25 while participating in Scala’s famous international training program for young singers. The collaboration between Josse and Lalov was a huge success in a very short time, resulting in tours with over 250 performances a season worldwide.
From the very beginning, the company established itself as highly competent in delivering traditional, full-scale productions featuring a full, professional orchestra and chorus, and professional opera singers who performed at the top national theatres in their native countries. The unusual chemistry of the company proved to be very popular with European audiences. Teatro Lirico D’Europa had completed over 2,000 performances worldwide at the time of Josse’s passing in 1995.

From Why Did Sarah Bernhardt Sleep in a Coffin? to The Invisible Circus of the Present Tense, Slow Dancing Is Easy blends humor and pathos in a genre fluid collection of short pieces that resonate with memoir, observations and fantasy chronicling one woman’s adventures over decades. Originally created for stage performance, the works make an exuberant leap from stage to page.
Written by Ara Fitzgerald, designed by Ola DeKorne, illustrated by the author’s whimsical line drawings and Peter Cunningham’s explosive photographs, Slow Dancing Is Easy is playful and inventive as it touches on love and loss in daily life and the search for resilience when confronted with today’s challenges.
It is intended for the general reader as well as dance/theater, poetry aficionados and performers seeking solo material.
Author Bio:
Ara Fitzgerald is a choreographer, writer, improvisor, performer and educator. Known for solos with original text, she revels in collaborations with photographer/filmmaker, Peter Cunningham, composer, Wall Matthews, Clare Byrne, Paris based choreographer, Martha Moore, and the honor to perform reconstructions of work by renowned dancer/clown, Lotte Goslar. A graduate of Connecticut College and Wesleyan University (MALS), she taught at Connecticut College, Trinity Square Conservatory, the National Theater Institute, and served as director of dance and theater at Manhattanville College. Her work has been seen on and off Broadway, in dance spaces and museums. When she told her grandmother, a retired vaudevillian, that she would pursue modern dance, her grandmother retorted, “A modern dancer is just a vaudevillian with an education.”
