A digital concert experience featuring the finest local talent and Space Coast Symphony Orchestra performing beloved musical theater and opera pieces, but with a twist: all of the classic tunes will be performed by singers of the opposite gender!
With local audiences hungry for new performances, Central Florida Vocal Arts and Space Coast Symphony Orchestra are excited to announce that the show must go on… online! The two organizations who have been collaborating since 2016 will meet again this August to perform a Gender Bender revue, a digital concert experience featuring the finest local talent performing beloved musical theater and opera pieces, but with a twist: all of the classic tunes will be performed by singers of the opposite gender!
Have you ever wondered what the Impossible Dream might sound like interpreted by a gifted mezzo soprano? Or what if instead of a Dancing Queen, a Dancing KING were to take the stage? For just a $10 digital ticket, audiences can attend our digital broadcast (via Facebook private group and private YouTube Live link) on Friday, August 28th and Saturday, August 29th with interactive commentary. Ticketholders will also have access to the performance via YouTube after the premiere. These performances will be filmed by the talented Tyla Harrington of ViewHouse Productions, a Black-female owned production company as we continue our commitment to supporting our BIPOC community.
On these same evenings, Space Coast audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy this performance live at Drive In concert venues.
Producer and Executive Director, Theresa Smith-Levin asserts “We are committed to continuing to provide audiences with outstanding performances during this pandemic. While nothing replaces the magic of live theatre, we have an obligation to our network of artists and audiences to continue to program new performances and innovate new methods of delivery. Digitally prepared and drive in performances provide the perfect medium to do so”.
Local opera and musical theatre veterans, Morgan Davis Peckels, Bryan Hayes, Desiree Montes, David Bracamonte, Sarah Stead and Jacob Pence under the baton of Space Coast Symphony maestro, Aaron Collins will bring musical magic and artistry to audiences, wherever they may be. Enjoy a world class performance from the safety and comfort of your own home, while supporting the longevity of performing arts in your community for just a $10.00 ticket.
