About the: Leticia Jarvis
Art Films Series
With access to the very latest films as well as older classics, Ms. Jarvis will choose films not otherwise available to Napa audiences. And your suggestions are welcome! Besides films, she will be able to choose from the best operas currently available.
Tickets will be available at the door of the Conservatory Theater the evening of the event or online. Pricing for Art Films is $10 and for operas $20.
For the new films Jarvis Conservatory employs the latest digital technology similar to that used for its Zarzuela recordings. This permits us to receive films in high definition, downloading direct from the Digital Server which provides more lifelike sound and color than is possible with films shown in typical 35mm film projectors.
Manon is an opéra comique in five acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Henri Meilhac and Philippe Gille, based on the 1731 novel L'histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut by the Abbé Prévost. It was first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on January 19, 1884.
Opera's "dream team" Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon unite to conquer Massenet's Manon. The flirtation, the longing, and the desire of the young nobleman and the tragic heroine Manon are in full bloom thanks to the vocal brilliance of these two artists, both at the peak of their careers.
