Valentine musical treat: Opera for Lovers at SCERA More than 50 years ago, Ewan Mitton soloed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on its first world tour. Her passion for music remained, and after directing an opera company in Oregon and a long career of performing and singing, Mitton formed the Utah Lyric Opera Society in Utah Valley 12 years ago. "We didn't have a place for classically trained singers to continue training and performing," per-forming," she explains, "so I started a company so people in our area can see what marvelous voices can do." Sixty of those "marvelous voices" will be spotlighted Feb. 13 and 14 when the Utah Lyric Opera Society presents its annual Valentine musical treat "Opera for Lovers" at the SCERA Center of the Arts in Orem. Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. and reserved-seat tickets are available at $10 for adults, $8 for children (age 3-11), seniors (65) and students (wID). Tickets are available online at www.scera.org or from 10am-6pm weekdays and Saturdays from 12noon-6pm at the SCERA Center, 745 S. State St., Orem or by calling (801) 225-ARTS. They will also be available at the door 30 minutes prior to the event. Now in its eighth year, this concert traditionally traditional-ly sells out. Vocalist and KBYU-FM radio ra-dio personality Eric Gliss-meyer Gliss-meyer will emcee the evening as well as sing and introduce an evening of favorites fa-vorites that include selections selec-tions from Gilbert and Sullivan, Sulli-van, a tribute to the 250th anniversary an-niversary of Mozart's birth, and romantic selections that include dreaming of love, courting and love declarations declara-tions including "Wheels of a Dream" from Ragtime and "I Want A Man" from Give Us Gals. Also included will be three works from Candide and a sampling from the show Song of Norway. While many soloists will be featured, Mitton says she is especially excited by a few of the numbers. "We have Robert Nakea, who won the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition Competi-tion and who is now a doctoral doc-toral student at the University Universi-ty of Chicago," she explains. "His specialty is the great Norwegian composer Ed-vard Ed-vard Grieg, and he will both play the piano and sing in our 'Song of Norway' segment." seg-ment." Mitton says it is rare to have a vocalist capable of also performing the difficult piano work, and when she did the work with Maurice Abravanel many years in Salt Lake City, the male lead who had performed on Broadway sang and imitated imitat-ed the piano while the late Reid Nibley played the work in the orchestra pit. "I'm so excited to see this performed," she says, "especially "espe-cially because he will do a duet with Italian singer Ginger Gin-ger Cost a-Jackson. She is a 19-year-old girl who has the most fantastic mezzo voice I have heard since I lived in New York." Costa-Jackson will also sing a duet with her 16-year-old sister Miriam Costa-Jackson when they will play sisters sis-ters from Mozart's "Cossi FanTutti." Jennifer and Darrell Babidge will sing two Mozart duets. Darrell performed per-formed with the Utah Lyric Opera Company in its first season and went on to make a career in New York. He met and married Jennifer Welch who recently debuted as a coloratura at the Metropolitan Metro-politan in New York City. Among her solos will be "Glitter and Be Gay" from Leonard Bernstein's Candide and featuring Barbara Allen, the company's musical director, direc-tor, on the piano.
