Gualala Arts Chamber Music Series presents: Capriccio Quartet

The Capriccio Quartet, all members of the San Francisco Opera Chorus, will return for an afternoon of light-hearted fun and pure musical enjoyment. Two years ago at Gualala Arts, they elicited a standing ovation and roof-raising applause. About that performance, music critic Iris Lorenz-Fife wrote in the ICO, "The members of the Quartet put so much heart into their presentation that I was swept up in the drama . . . The passion, the acting, and the singing of the final offering moved me to tears."

Their previous programs have included popular selections from Strauss' Die Fledermaus, Wagner's Tannhauser, Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte, Massenet's Werther, Dvorak's Rusalka, Rossini's Barber of Seville, Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman, Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, and Rodgers and Hammerstein's Tales of the South Pacific.

The Quartet was formed in 1991 when they were chosen to preview the forthcoming San Francisco Opera fall season. That year they sang in a variety of venues to high acclaim. Enjoying this newly-found artistic outlet, they have continued to perform together, and since that time, they have sung many concerts around the Bay Area. We are happy to have them perform in Gualala again as part of our concert series.

Tickets are $20 for advance purchases; $5 more on the day of the concert (buy your tickets early!). Children and young people ages 7 through 17 are admitted free.
