Faust director Doug Copsey and conductor Robert Franz plan Opera Idaho's new production
When Opera Idaho begins its 2009/10 mainstage season next week with Charles Gounod’s Faust, sung in French with English titles, it will mark the first time a Boise Philharmonic conductor has led an opera in more than 20 years. With Boise Philharmonic Music Director Robert Franz in his Opera Idaho debut, Faust will be performed Friday, Oct. 30, 7:30 pm, and Sunday, Nov. 1, 2:30 pm, at the 998-seat Auditorium at South Junior High School, Boise’s newest, state-of-the-art performing arts venue. Doug Copsey, who directed Faust the last time it was performed by Opera Idaho (1978), will return to direct this opera again. Idaho Dance Theatre and choreographer Marla Hansen will collaborate in the staging. Opera Idaho is part of a new impetus of cooperation amongst arts organizations in the Treasure Valley, as noted in a front page article in The Idaho Statesman Sunday, Oct. 18.
