Two Opera One-Acts Slow Dusk by Carlisle Floyd Signor Deluso by Thomas Pasatieri
Rhinehart Recital Hall
Slow Dusk is a one-act musical play that was a precursor to Floyd’s celebrated opera Susanna. This one act takes place entirely on the front porch of a farm in the Sandhills of the Carolinas. Floyd tells the tragic story of Sadie and Micah, star crossed lovers, who are members of different religious sects and their struggle to find hope for their relationship.
Signor Deluso is a comedy based on a play by Molière and is Pasatieri’s most performed opera. It is filled with laughs, jealousy, and farce. Through a series of misunderstandings, the lovers Céline and Léon become unintentionally mixed up in a series of love triangles and revenge affairs with the neighbors and their spouses. Hopefully Singor Deluso can sort all this out!
