The popular American work crosses the doors of the oldest Opera theatre in the world. The New York Harlem Theatre brings to the San Carlo the ambitious modern melodrama by Gershwin, a wonderful musical epic of coloured people passionate of jazz, blues and spirituals.
About the Teatro di San Carlo Foundation
Now carefully restored to its former splendour, the San Carlo is the oldest working theatre in Europe (41 years older than Milano's Scala and 51 years older than Venice's Fenice) its regular seasons having only been interrupted once, in 1874 and 1875 - due to a lack of funds. Neither the 1816 fire nor the Second World War put a halt to its activity: after the 1816 fire the theatre was rebuilt in a mere six months and during the war a series of concerts for the armed forces was staged in lieu of operas.
The San Carlo shares with La Scala the record for the first Italian ballet school (1812) whilst its set design school opened as early as 1816.
About Harlem Opera Theater
Under Artistic Director, Gregory Hopkins, internationally acclaimed tenor, conductor, organist and pianist, Harlem Opera Theater performances include all types of musical offerings: opera, oratory concerts, recitals, Negro Spirituals and varied forms of American music, in keeping with our mission “to provide performance opportunities for professional and developing gifted artists within Harlem and communities where opera is seldom performed; and to cultivate and expand audience appreciation for opera and classical music through creative programming.” Particular focus is given to the works of African-American composers and to projects that link different aspects of the performing arts.
