| This new production
will feature soprano Heather Buck as Princess Laoula. Ms. Buck recently
appeared with Opera Boston as the Maid in Powder Her Face as part
of 2003’s Opera Unlimited Festival. As the capricious King Ouf I,
tenor Torrance Blaisdell, a graduate of New England Conservatory, will
reprise his role from the wildly popular 2001 Glimmerglass Opera production
of L’étoile. Baritone Drew Poling, who appeared as
Henry Kissinger in Opera Boston’s 2004 Nixon in China, will play
Herisson de Porc-Epic. Acclaimed Boston-based director Scott Edmiston
will direct. Mr. Edmiston’s directorial debut with Opera Boston was
with 2004’s Nixon in China. L’étoile will be sung in
English, using the new translation by Jeremy Sams that played to acclaim
at Glimmerglass and at the New York City Opera.
