2010 Standard repertoire Project
Our Summer Season has already featured a staged production of Mozart's masterpiece Le nozze di Figaro, and still to come are Puccini's Il Trittico (Il Tabarro, Gianni Schicchi and Suor Angelica) and Lucia di Lammermoor. Remaining performances will take place at Theatre 80 St. Mark's on August 15 and August 29 (Sundays at 3 p.m.).

The 2010 BlackBox production of Donizetti's Anna Bolena at Theater 80 St. Marks was well-received by a nearly full house opening night and a sold-out house at the second performance. Jill Dewsnup, Kirk Dougherty, Matthew Anchel and Cherry Duke starred, all in debut roles, with Hellgate Harmonie providing the orchestral forces.
Our 2009 Standard Repertoire Project was hugely successful, with large, responsive audiences, and wonderful casts. Over fifty singers participated and learned new roles in Manon, Don Giovanni & La Bohème, gaining valuable experience and insight into their preparation process.
Covers, comprimarios and chorus members from the 2009 SRP were featured in a Scenes Showcase in the fall as an extension of their experience in the Standard Repertoire Project, performing for friends, family, and select dell'Arte donors. They later performed their scenes in outreach performances at the Jewish Home and Hospital.
Cast members from Anna Bolena, along with other dell'Arte alumni, performed for the residents of the Kittay House in the Bronx on January 11th. It's hard to tell who has a more fullfilling experience: the residents experiencing high-quality performances, or the singers trying out important repertoire in front of an enthusiastic audience. dell'Arte hopes to return to the Kittay House in the near future.
Since 2000, dell’Arte Opera Ensemble has provided over 200 singers with vital performance and role-preparation experiences.
Through individual coachings, ensemble rehearsals, concert readings, and full performances as well as seminars and master classes, dell’Arte Opera Ensemble provides emerging artists with valuable opportunities to hone their craft, make connections with leading industry professionals, and develop their knowledge of, and capacity to learn, the operatic repertoire.
dell’Arte performers are selected by audition and participate at no-cost. Additionally, performances are offered to the public at low- or no-cost.
Maestro Christopher Fecteau is the Artistic Director of dell’Arte, and his commitment to nurturing emerging artists and reaching new audiences for opera is evident in all aspects of this innovative company.
