Alto, NM – Everyone’s welcome about the “HMS Pinafore”, Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious operatic comedy at Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts on Tuesday, April 15th at 8 p.m.
Starring the UK’s internationally acclaimed Carl Rosa Opera Company, this sea faring smash hit about love, hypocrisy and mistaken identities is bursting with Gilbert’s brilliant satiric wit and some of Sullivan’s most popular, tongue-twisting songs.
Excellent seats are available for $59 & $56. Call the Spencer Theater Box Office at 575.336.4800 or go online at <a href=http://www.steppinoutnewmexico.com/modules.php?name=Content&op=visit&id=350 target=_blank>www.SpencerTheater.com</a> for tickets today.
Then to start the month of May, Spencer Theater brings “I Love a Piano” a nostalgic musical journey spanning seven decades of American history as seen through the eyes of Irving Berlin. – “Irving Berlin has no place in American music...he IS American music!” states Jerome Kern .The show tracks the life of a piano through four generations of singers and dancers who have performed with and around it.
Six actors and and a trio perform Berlin’s enduring and popular favorites. This spectacular new show captures the spirit of America from the Ragtime rhythms of the early 20th century through the swinging sophistication of the 1920’s and 1930’s. From the sentimental songs that inspired a nation during two World Wars to the innocent optimism of the 1950’s, the piano is the centerpiece in this musical salute with Berlin’s invigorating song catalogue supplying the narrative. “It proves a masterstroke!” says The Los Angeles Times in review of director/choreographer Ray Roderick’s structure of the revue. Timeless classics such as White Christmas, God Bless America, Puttin’ On The Ritz and There’s No Business Like Show Business do more than define the music of a generation, they define the music of our country.
The show is Thursday, May 1 at 8 pm; tickets are $49 & $46 and available by calling at 575.336.4800 or go online at <a href=http://www.steppinoutnewmexico.com/modules.php?name=Content&op=visit&id=350 target=_blank>www.SpencerTheater.com</a>.
