  2000 - 2001 Season Calendar
Chamber Music in the New World: Música de las Américas


September 20, 22 & 24, 2000 - Corkin Theater/Houston Fine Arts Center
The Colorado Opera Troupe, accompanied by
The Colorado Chamber Players, presents Puccini’s La Boheme

Sung in English, Elizabeth Schulze, Conductor

Love can happen anytime, anyplace - intense and quick. The simple lighting of a candle sets in motion events that profoundly change the lives of six Bohemians. The deep love shared by Mimi and Rodolfo inspires in us the hope to dream. The volatile and exciting love of Musetta and Marcello underlines the fragility of relationships. The fun-loving Schaunard and Colline surround these artistans affirming the value of friendship. They live for their art, for the moment, in the blissful hours of winter the lovers long for spring which brings the promise of life–but not for Mimi

Viajes por el mundo nuevo: Falla, Halffter, Scarlatti and Castelnuovo-Tedesco
Peter Cooper, Principal Oboe, Colorado Symphony
Tamara Goldstein, Harpsichord with the Colorado Chamber Players

This season’s Museo program draws from mainly Latino composers, as they travelled in strange lands. Spaniard de Falla’s last years were spent in Buenos Aires, in exile from Franco; Halffter took a similar journey from Spain to Mexico; Tedesco made Los Angeles his home after fleeing Italy; and finally, Italian Scarlatti’s most creative oeuvre was written in his adopted homeland of Spain. Randall Thompson’s witty suite completes this unusual program.

Debla for Solo Flute Rudolfo Halffter
Violin sonata Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco
Two Sonatas for Harpsichord Alessandro Scarlatti
INTERMISSION
Suite for Oboe, Clarinet and Viola Randall Thompson
Harpsichord Concerto, for harpsichord, flute, oboe, clarinet, violin and cello Manuel de Falla
