TCO Pairs a Comedy by Ravel with Cabaret Songs by Schoenberg

Tri-Cities Operais presenting a double-bill of Arnold Schoenberg's early cabaret songs, the Brettl-lieder paired with Maurice Ravel's effervescent comedy 'L'Heure Espagnole'. Stage Director James Kenon Mitchell talks about turning the Brettl-lieder into a mini-autobiography of Marilyn Monroe and linking the songs to Ravel's comedy and its fiery, yet frustrated leading lady, Concepcion.  Soprano Stacey Geyer talks about the various sources for the texts used in the Brettl-lieder, and about playing the Marilyn Monroe character.https://wskg.org/audio/brettl.mp3 Photo credit: Randy Cummings of Bunn Hill Photography for Tri-Cities Opera
