SHARP wit sits at the heart of The Boor, Dominick Argento’s fast-paced comedic opera coming to the Maleny Community Centre on Friday, February 7, from 7pm to 8pm.
Based on Anton Chekhov’s one-act play The Bear, The Boor is a compact, high-energy three-hander that delivers big laughs and surprising heart.
Dominick Argento’s lively score mirrors the rapid-fire comedy and emotional twists of Jon Olon-Scrymgeour’s libretto, reminding audiences that just when all seems lost, new hope and unexpected love can appear.
Directed by Emma Nightingale and conducted by emerging talent Guillaume Lemay-Yates, with accompaniment by John Woods, the production showcases outstanding local performers.
