"The 2011 Fort Worth Opera Festival will feature four works that stylistically span from Baroque to contemporary, or close to 400 years of operatic composing history, the opera announced Wednesday night.
The bill will include full-scale productions of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado, Verdi's Il Trovatore and Handel's Julius Caesar. The fourth production will be the contemporary, smaller-scale chamber opera piece Hydrogen Jukebox, by avant-garde composer Philip Glass.
Next season's festival will mark the first time the opera has presented a Baroque work in its main season, with Julius Caesar. The production will bring back one of the area's well-regarded performers, TCU graduate Ava Pine, playing Cleopatra. Pine is starring in The Elixir of Love during this year's festival, which runs from Saturday through June 6."
