Tonight the Seagle Music Colony premieres Mozart’s Cosi fan tutti. This production, set in Hollywood’s Silent movie era, is full of “high jinx comedy”, with some of Mozart’s most beautiful operatic pieces.

The title, Così fan tutte, literally means "Thus do all [women]" but it is often rendered as "Women are like that".  Hhhmm.

Seagle Music Colony. Charley Hill Road. Four nights only! July 13 – 16. 8pm. 518-532-7875

'Shake It' This Sunday At Scaroon Manor...

Tara Bradway, ADK Shakes Executive director, with some of the company at a performance Thursday.

This just in…The Adirondack Shakespeare Company has just got the green light to stage a show this Sunday at the old Scaroon Manor site, moving their Schroon Lake premiere forward by several weeks.

ADK Shakes, as the company is known, calls Schroon home for the summer. Executive director Tara Bradway got the news last night from the New York DEC. From Tara:

 

This brand new performance on Sunday is wonderful for us. The DEC contacted us to hang up posters at the Manor and at the camping grounds at Eagle Point. Campers have been asking about the shows that are going on. We suggested to them that we come on over to do a show this weekend! Sunday was our very last date available in our touring calendar, and people have been asking for a Complete Works performance in Schroon sooner than the end of July -- so we have delivered!

Almost Like Being in Love... In Schroon

/

It’s opening night for the 96th season of Schroon Lake’s own Seagle Music Colony, with the premiere of the musical Brigadoon.

We'd like to offer a huge congrats to this year’s class of 32 emerging young artists  -- hand picked from across the US -- who will perform in the Colony's six productions over the summer.

Since early June these young performers have made their summer home at the Seagle Music Colony campus on Charley Hill Road.

Brigadoon tells the story of a mysterious village in Scotland that appears for only one day every hundred years. But things get turned upside down when two lost American tourists stumble upon the village on the eve of a wedding.

Songs from the musical, which made its debut on Broadway in 1947, “Like Almost Like Being in Love”  and “Once In The Highlands” are classics.

Brigadoon @ Seagle Music Colony. Wednesday June 29 to Saturday July 2nd. 8:00 pm. 999 Charley Hill Road (about 2.5 miles up the hill from the turn off on Route 9)
