An Evening with a Diva
BROOMFIELD MEZZO TAKES THE AUDI STAGE Gina Razón brings her one-woman show to Colorado
Local Mezzo Soprano Gina Razón brings her comic homage of life as a classical mezzo-soprano to the Broomfield Auditorium on March 9, 2012 at 7pm. The concert is an affectionate tour of the often peculiar roles one is cast in as a mezzo. An Evening with Diva features works from opera, music theatre and song repertoire, punctuated by anecdotes and “mad-libs”. This program is a love letter to the varied and complex places a mezzo ends up in the course of a musical life. Ms. Razón is joined by Robert Spillman at the piano.
Says Ms. Razón, “as a mezzo in the theatre, one moment you are a seductive young woman and in the next you're old...or even a man. We rarely get to play traditional leading ladies, so this is my nod to the richness of characters we portray instead. This program features some of my favorite music and I hope it will take the audience on a fantastic journey.” An Evening with a Diva was conceived by Ms. Razón in 2009; this performance will be the work's Colorado premiere.
Dominican-American mezzo-soprano Gina Razón is recognized for her versatility, physicality and the rich warmth of her instrument. Embracing diverse roles, Ms. Razón possesses what one critic hailed, "a warm, rich singing voice...one of the evening's high points." Ms. Razón has performed with Opera Theatre of the Rockies, Opera Fort Collins, Loveland Opera Theatre and OpenStage Theatre. Further information about Ms. Razón is available at www.ginarazon.com.
An Evening with a Diva will premiere at the Broomfield Auditorium on March 9, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and may be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets or at the Broomfield Auditorium Box Office 720-887-2371.
