Gorgibus is forcing his daughter C茅lie to marry the wealthy Val猫re, but she is in love with L茅on and he with her. However, a series of mistaken assumptions and quarrelling ensues after C茅lie faints in the town square and loses her locket with a portrait of L茅on inside. 鈥淪ignor Deluso鈥 is an English-language, heavily condensed version of Moli猫re's 1660 comedy 鈥淪ganarelle,鈥 or 鈥淭he Imaginary Cuckold.鈥

鈥淪ince the 1660s, when the play premiered, as well as the 1970s, when the opera was written, the opera community has evolved considerably,鈥 states director Audrey Chait. 鈥淪ome of these situations and jokes still work, while others no longer quite land. This is where our role as interpreters comes in, approaching the material with modern sensibilities and a modern sense of humor. We hope you enjoy the finished product!鈥

The 猎鹰体育直播 cast features Katherine Sharp (C茅lie), Trevor Gutu (Gorgibus/Magistrate), Madison Boler (Rosine), Zach Felts (Signor Deluso), Ashley Tinch (Clara) and Jimmy Renton (L茅on). The show is directed by Audrey Chait. Other creative team members include Damon Stevens (Music Director), Meg Booker (Stage Manager), Allison Jones (Costume Designer), and Faith Greene (Assistant Stage Manager, Costumes/Hair/Makeup Assistant).
