Due to technical difficulties, the official opening night of Carson Kievman's "HAMLET Soundtheater/Opera," at SoBe Arts' Little Stage Theater, will be moved to Friday, March 2. Additional performances will take place (as previously scheduled) through March 11, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 7:30 p.m.
This Friday's (Feb. 24) performance will, however, remain intact, and ticket holders for this performance will be treated to the pre-performance champagne reception (sponsored by Laurent-Perrier and Sylvano Restaurant) at 6:30 p.m., a one-and-a-half-hour program of the finest excerpts from the opera starting at 8:00 p.m. - featuring the cast's principal performers. As an extra bonus, there will be a Meet-the-Cast session following the program. Some tickets for this gala evening are still available at $100. Any ticket holder attending Friday's program will be additionally offered a complimentary ticket for any full performance of the opera between March 2-11.
Director/Composer Kievman says, "HAMLET Soundtheater/Opera" is the single most challenging work ever presented by SoBe Arts. It is a complicated opera with challenging music and demanding staging, even for a semi-staged concert performance. To ensure absolute quality in the production, we want to take the extra time to refine and rehearse the technical dimensions of the work. We have a remarkable cast, and we want the production to reflect their exceptional talents."
Those who are holding tickets for this weekend's Saturday and Sunday performances are asked to call SoBe Arts to change their ticket to another performance date.
