Based on the famous book by Sinclair Lewis, the opera, Elmer Gantry brings this vivid American story to the stage, with all of its power intact. As in the recent movie O Brother, Where Art Thou, this opera utilizes roots gospel music mixed with classical music to etch a vivid portrait of the fictitious Evangelist Elmer Gantry, and his rise to power and fall from grace in early 20th Century rural America. Containing beautiful melodies, blended with graceful humor and searing drama, this is a production unlike any other, and not to be missed. Podcast Information: Nashville Opera, the first professional opera company to offer a synchronized director's commentary during a live production, will again provide this unique technology during Elmer Gantry. Director John Hoomes, composer Robert Aldridge, librettist Herschel Garfein, and production crew will record podcast audio commentary for the performances on November 18 and 20. Special ticket packages are available which allow participants to experience the opera on either November 16 and 18 and then return for the Sunday or Tuesday performances to learn about the behind-the-scenes aspects of Elmer Gantry. The podcast program will be available for free download from Apple's iTunes on Saturday, November 17, but participants will need to provide their own iPod. Zune users can download MP3 formatted files from the Nashville Opera website: Nashville Opera. Call Nashville Opera at (615) 832-5242 for information.
