comes to Tampa when Vincerò- The Italian Opera Experience
takes stage at HCC Ybor Performing Arts Center as part of Tampa
Fringe Festival August 5th-7th. The show closed its World Premier
run in Hollywood,CA in June and is described as a “presentation
of wonders for the operatic art unshackled from the stifling
formality of the opera house and the throngs of old money ticket
holders.”
Staged in an immersive concert-style performance that is customized
for each venue, Vincerò features selections of the world’s most
beloved and recognizable arias from Italian opera performed
by the show’s international cast, including its featured singer
Mezzo Soprano and Recording Artist Natalja Sticco. The Tampa
shows also include a guest appearance by Clearwater Guitarist
Greg Smith who has collaborated with Sticco on music in the
past.

Vincerò
makes opera more accessible to audiences by eliminating stuffy
opera-house stereotypes and returns the art to its origins as
community entertainment. Producer Gino DiCapra, says, “When
opera first appeared in Italy during the 1600’s people from
all walks of life gathered as a community to hear beautiful
music, thrilling voices. It wasn’t until the 19th century that
opera’s reputation as ‘elitist’ was born.” That reputation has
endured for two-centuries. DiCapra says Vincerò touches
audiences in unexpected ways because, “at its core, the show
honors our shared, cross-culture, human experiences. All of
which are woven throughout opera, and audiences will feel that.”
Tickets cost $12 and are one sale now at www.tampafringe.org.
