OSWEGO – The Oswego Music Hall continues the Guest Curator Series— which enables new programs proposed and curated by community members, representing demographics and artistic genre not typical in Music Hall programming. Oswego Music Hall is proud to welcome the Oswego Opera Theater’s OSWEGONIAN RHAPSODY, an evening of local acts performing selections from popular rock operas.
“Your favorite local bands, your favorite rock operas, now for the first time ever unite in an explosive evening of high-energy performances and crossover extravaganza!” says co-planner Nicholas Gentile. “Ever want to hear Gary Dunes rendition of The Who’s Tommy? The Jimi Marley Trio’s reggae rendition of The Wall? Or how about a surf rock rendition of Rocky Horror? You’ll hear the songs you grew up with played in genres you’d never expect.””But, of course, there’ll be a good amount of rock music too,” says co-planner Gina Mazzoli, “The audience will rush to the dance floor when they hear Johnny Bletch’s new venture playing classics by bands like Queen.”
The Oswego Opera Theater has produced fully-staged musical productions annually since 1978, involving hundreds of local musicians, technicians, designers, costumers, and lighting engineers. This will be their first ever “rock opera” fundraiser.
The show is scheduled for Saturday, May 31st, 7pm at the Oswego Music Hall (inside the McCrobie Civic Center at 41 Lake St, Oswego, NY 13126), and tickets are on sale now at oswegomusichall.org.
“This benefit concert for the Oswego Opera Theater is a can’t-miss, one-night only affair.” adds Gentile, “You’ll never see such a wide variety of different performers in all your life. The evening guarantees to put both the show and the tunes in showtunes.”
