SUMMARY:Chautauqua Opera Conservatory with the Music School Festival Orchestra: La Vida Breve
DESCRIPTION:La Vida Breve\, with music by Manuel de Falla and a libretto by Carlos Fernández Shaw\, is considered one of the greatest operas written in Spanish. Written in 1905\, it’s a kind of “tragic zarzuela”\, a hothouse verismo opera that mixes Andalusian folk songs into a score shimmering with French Impressionism. This vivid and engrossing opera centers on Salud\, the working-class heroine\, a victim of passion and betrayal. Salud loves Paco\, a sophisticated cad\, who offers her pledges of love but marries another\, wealthier\, girl\, leaving Salud desolate with heartbreak. Only one hour long\, La Vida Breve is sonically thrilling\, with richly sung emotion and vivacious rhythms — a gripping story of the human condition. \nThe Chautauqua Opera Conservatory is designed to guide and empower young artists through training and vast performance opportunities in a wide array of repertoire with excellent faculty.  Under the leadership of Denyce Graves-Montgomery\, Artistic Advisor\, and Jonathan Beyer\, Director\, a dynamic group of singers study\, coach\, and perform in an idyllic setting on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution.  \nComprised of top-tier students from conservatories and universities in the U.S. and abroad\, Music School Festival Orchestra members participate in a variety of musical activities during their summers at Chautauqua including chamber music and private lessons along with their meticulous orchestral training. Alumni from the MSFO can be heard in many of the world’s top orchestras and chamber ensembles and can be found on music faculties worldwide. The MSFO is led by Artistic Director Timothy Muffitt\, who serves as Music Director of the Lansing Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Laureate of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.
