Florentine Opera will make its return to the stage with “La Vie En Rose” next month.
The return will be the first time in 13 months that the opera company has been on stage in front of an audience at the Marcus Performing Arts Center after the COVID-19 pandemic forced an early end to its 2020 season.
Performances of “La Vie En Rose” will begin April 9 in the Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall in the Marcus Performing Arts Center.
While in-person performing arts productions have been difficult to pull off during the pandemic, the opera art form presents particular challenges: Singers need to project widely without microphones, which produces droplets, and congregating in backstage areas and orchestra pits isn’t conducive to social distancing.
