Here's an interview with one of the musicians taking part in today's final performance - Olivia Hay:
Q: For those who aren’t familiar The Magic Flute, tell us about it.
Olivia: The Magic Flute is an opera by Mozart, an incredible composer from the 18th century who is still quite famous for his operas. This opera tells the story of Tamino, a prince, who must undergo many trials in his quest for the beautiful Pamina. However, the plot, though quite complex and interesting, pales in comparison to the pure genius of the music as it brings the audience on journey of emotions while the plot progresses.
Q: What's your part in the performance?
Olivia: I am a violinist in the orchestra. The orchestra sets the mood for the opera with the overture, introduces many of the arias, and lays a groundwork of support for the singers.
Q: What's your background in music?
Olivia: I have played violin for 10 years, and piano for 12. Now I am in my second year of study at Marshall University, majoring in Violin Performance and Music Education. I have performed with several orchestras and participated in various festivals over the years, but this opera is the greatest musical experience I have been privileged to be a part of.
Q: Why would you recommend this show to our readers?
Olivia: Everyone participating in this production is simply ecstatic to share this music with the community. The greatest joy in music is in sharing with others, and we can not wait to share our excitement. The music speaks for itself, and the performers are simply wonderful! It is the best kind of entertainment, and I think everyone will enjoy it.
Q: Tell us the dates, times and place for the show.
Olivia: The final concert at City Hall in Huntington will be on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 3:00 p.m.
Thanks, Olivia!
