Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Opera Overtures - Sweeney Todd

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd . . . the dark and brooding, yet sharply comic, story of love, revenge, and meat pies. In his multiple-Tony-Award-winning musical, the late and much-beloved Stephen Sondheim created what Washington Post classical music critic, Anne Midgette, calls “the great American opera of the late 20th century.” At the broken heart of the story is the wrongly exiled barber, Sweeney Todd, as he returns to London to seek revenge on the lecherous Judge Turpin who ruined his life and destroyed his family. When Todd reunites with the ever-resourceful and ever-unscrupulous Mrs. Lovett, the owner of a local pie shop, his razor-sharp need for vengeance soon supplies Mrs. Lovett with as much meat as she needs for her new and highly popular range of delicious meat pies. But Sweeney’s desperate hunger for revenge cannot be satiated by a meat pie, however tasty.

Wielding his ruby-dripping razors as Sweeney Todd will be bass Kevin Burdette, who audiences will remember climbing the slopes of Everest in January 2020. Grinding up the worst type of mystery meat will be Grammy-winning soprano, Mela Dailey, as Mrs. Lovett, making her long-awaited return to Austin Opera since The Manchurian Candidate in 2016. Baritone Mark Diamond (Lauren + Mark Digital Concert Event) makes his live production debut as Anthony. Making her Long Center Season debut is Raven McMillon as Johanna. Raven last appeared in Austin Opera’s The Impresario, December 2020.

Wielding a searing baton, rather than a blood-soaked razor, is Sarah and Ernest Butler Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor, Timothy Myers as Doug Scholz-Carlson directs this blood-chilling and darkly hilarious production which spirals through the gaudy filth of 19th century London. As Sondheim’s distinctive music blends beautiful melody and harsh discordance, the electrifying action drives its disturbing tale from the veiled brutality of upper-class houses through the violent underbelly of the city’s working-class streets and docks, and ultimately, to its inexorably tragic conclusion in Mrs. Lovett’s bakehouse. As Sweeney himself says, “There’s a hole in the world that’s a great black pit, the vermin of the world inhabit it, and it goes by the name of London.”

English

Asiste al cuento de Sweeney Todd. . . la oscura e inquietante, pero agudamente cómica, historia de amor, venganza y pasteles de carne. En su musical ganador de múltiples premios Tony, el difunto y muy querido Stephen Sondheim creó lo que El Correo de Washington La crítica de música clásica Anne Midgette la llama “la gran ópera estadounidense de finales del siglo XX”. En el corazón roto de la historia se encuentra el barbero exiliado por error, Sweeney Todd, que regresa a Londres para vengarse del lascivo juez Turpin, que arruinó su vida y destruyó a su familia. Cuando Todd se reúne con la señora Lovett, siempre ingeniosa y sin escrúpulos, propietaria de una pastelería local, su aguda necesidad de venganza pronto le proporciona a la señora Lovett toda la carne que necesita para su nueva y muy popular gama. de deliciosos pasteles de carne. Pero el ansia desesperada de venganza de Sweeney no se puede saciar con un pastel de carne, por sabroso que sea.

Blandiendo sus maquinillas de afeitar que gotean rubíes como Sweeney Todd será el bajo kevin burdette, a quien el público recordará escalando las laderas del Everest en enero de 2020. Moliendo el peor tipo de carne misteriosa será la soprano ganadora del Grammy, Mela Dailey, como la Sra. Lovett, haciendo su tan esperado regreso a Austin Opera desde El candidato de Manchuriae en 2016. Barítono Marca diamante (Evento de concierto digital Lauren + Mark) hace su debut en producción en vivo como Anthony. Hacer su debut en la temporada Long Center es Cuervo McMillon como Juana. Raven apareció por última vez en Austin Opera's El empresarioDiciembre 2020.

Blandiendo un bastón abrasador, en lugar de una navaja empapada en sangre, están Sarah y Ernest Butler, directora principal y asesora artística, Timothy Myers as Doug Scholz-Carlson dirige esta escalofriante y oscuramente hilarante producción que se mueve en espiral a través de la llamativa inmundicia del Londres del siglo XIX. A medida que la música distintiva de Sondheim combina una hermosa melodía y una áspera discordancia, la acción electrizante conduce su inquietante historia desde la brutalidad velada de las casas de clase alta a través de la parte más vulnerable de las calles y los muelles de la clase trabajadora de la ciudad y, en última instancia, a su conclusión inexorablemente trágica en La panadería de la Sra. Lovett. Como dice el propio Sweeney: "Hay un agujero en el mundo que es un gran pozo negro, las alimañas del mundo lo habitan y se llama Londres".
