Opera: Béatrice et Bénédict - with Kaya Rose Giroux and Megan Mateosky

Béatrice et Bénédict
by Hector Berlioz

Join the Carnegie Mellon School of Music for the premiere of this remarkable production of Berlioz’s Beatrice and Benedict. It's a joyful romp about love in difficult times, fittingly adapted to meet the challenges of making music in 2020 using television and film production processes. The production has been compliant with COVID-19 protocols, with rehearsals happening completely on Zoom, and the guest director Candace Evans never leaving her home in Dallas, TX.

Enjoy this delightful comedy, which begins with the production documentary followed by the filmed production.
