 One Hundred Years Later in Florence Barbara Barrett
February 4th, 2012
ICC - 1669 Columbia St.
6:00 PM On Feb 4, at 6:00pm Barbara Barrett, a Brooklyn born and ICC student, who moved permanently in Florence Italy, will entertain us on her experience in Italy. She will tell us about how life has changed for an American who chose Italy to fulfill her dreams and expectations. Appetizers and wine will enrich the event. No RSVP Required.
"After finding my roots in the tiny fishing village of Lacco Ameno, Ischia, I became a dual citizen and was beckoned to live in the country that my immigrating family had to abandon in 1904. They would never live to know that their dream would be fulfilled through their children. They would never live to know that a century and three generations later, the circle would be completed, returning one of their children back, to love as they never could, the land that was once theirs" - Barbara Barrett

SAN DIEGO OPERA 2012 SEASON: TWO ITALIAN MASTERPIECES!
 Don Pasquale, by Gaetano Donizetti
March 10, 13, 16, 18, 2012
In a hilarious change of pace, laugh as the doddering old fool Pasquale is tricked into thinking he has married the demure and innocent convent-raised Sofronia. But she’s really Norina, in love with Pasquale’s nephew whom he is trying to disinherit. Once “married”, she becomes a gun toting shrew who shows Pasquale that he was definitely better off without a wife. It’s a San Diego Opera production and a cheeky look at Don Pasquale in the Wild West that will have you laughing your spurs off! Cast: Don Pasquale John Del Carlo; Norina Danielle de Niese; Ernesto Charles Castronovo; Doctor Jeff Mattsey; Conductor Marco Guidarini; Director David Gately.The Barber Of Seville, by Gioachino Rossini April 21, 24, 27, 29, 2012
He’s Seville’s “King of Lather and Foam”! Barber by day, matchmaker by night, Figaro puts his wiles to work as he aids the Count in wooing the beautiful Rosina. She’s such a catch that her sleazy guardian keeps her under lock and key with the intent of marrying her himself. But no challenge is too great for Figaro’s trickery. And, with laughter at every turn, Rosina is no slouch at manipulating things herself! With whimsical designs based on Magritte’s style, you’ll see fluffy clouds, flying chairs and even raining bowler hats. Cast: Figaro Lucas Meacham; Rosina Silvia Tro Santafé; Count Almaviva John Osborn; Conductor Antonello Allemandi; Director John Copley.
