IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA
BY GIOACHINO ROSSINI

AT THE HISTORIC

Il barbiere di Siviglia is the story of a barber in the city of Seville named Figaro who serves a count named Almaviva. The count is looking for love, but not from just anyone. He wants someone who cares for him not because of his title or money, but for him as a person, so he does the only logical thing… he pretends to be someone else and starts wooing the lovely Rosina under a false pretense! Disguises, sneaking around, and hilarity ensues, and leaves the audience smiling from ear to ear! 

​

The opera will be presented in Italian with English Supertitles.

CAST: HEESEUNG CHAE, EDITH GROSSMAN, ALEX BOYD, AND JANESE PENTICO.

DIRECTED BY GREG ELDRIDGE, CONDUCTED BY KSENIA LELETKINA.

​

JULY 29THTH AND 31ST,  &

AUGUST 4TH AND 6TH  ONLY!

ORFEO ED EURIDICE
BY CHRISTOPH WILLIBALD GLUCK

​

  Orfeo ed Euridice is an opera based on the classic Greek myth. Orpheus is promised that he may enter Hades and retrieve his wife, Euridice from death on one condition: he may not look back to see if she is there for the entire journey from the underworld back to the land of the living.

THREE GREAT EVENTS TO CHOOSE FROM!

Don't forget there's more to the Festival than the mainstage! You won't want to miss out on all the summer fun of our Recital Series where you can hear the mainstage principals perform more repertoire, catch some opera in a brewery, and hear the up-and-coming talent in Wisconsin from our Fellows! Check out our titles just below!

• GUEST ARTIST RECITAL

KOF brings in world-class singers for roles in our mainstage opera, but you have a chance to hear them more than once, and before they premiere in Il barbiere di Siviglia! Our artists present a program that shows them off just for audiences of KOF, so don't miss out on this one!

OUR FREE OFFERINGS

For the KOF, bringing excellent classical and operatic music to the greater Kenosha community is a serious mission. Opera 'Round K-Town is our program to bring performances to all kinds of Kenoshans wherever they are.

And now...to honor America...... Opera! The KOF will sing at a home game for our own Kenosha Kingfish! Look for us on the pitcher's mound July 9th!

We sing for and engage with the public on their weekend trip to the lovely Kenosha Harbor Market. While people came to get their fresh produce, they'll also find some fresh opera!

MEMORY AND ELDER CARE OUTREACH
 

It's not just kids that need to have art in their lives! KOF is doing outreach to memory and elder care facilities this May with repertoire from the classic music theater and classic opera repertoire folks might have heard on their Lanza or Caruso records!
