In an opera house, it hits one with tremendous force; but there's also something very special about hearing it with the focus of the concert hall. The story of the white Desdemona and the Moor Othello was a point of much interest, and some controversy, hundreds of years ago when Shakespeare wrote it. In the sort of twist that OEBS is known for, our Desdemona is African American and our Othello is white. Singing the role of Desdemona is the radiant rising star of opera, the African American soprano Talise Trevigne, who is in demand from Britain to Russia to Australia. There are several other OEBS vocal debuts in this cast that are also not to be missed.. <BR><BR>Also on the program is one of Haydn's finest and most deeply emotional work, Symphony No. 49, frequently referred to as "La Passione" or the "Sturm und Drang" Symphony, as well as a new work by Latvian composer Peteris Vasks. <BR></FONT></FONT></P></TD> <TD VALIGN="top" WIDTH="226" ALIGN="RIGHT"><IMG
