Making Hercules Sing
Arizona Opera’s season opens with Hercules vs Vampires, promising all the fun of an iconic Italian B-movie adventure combined with fresh live music in a compact 74-minute package. Singers, orchestra and conductor synchronize a newly-composed score from Patrick Morganelli with the 1961 film Hercules in the Haunted World (Ercole al centro della terra/Hercules in the Center of the Earth). The movie features Reg Park and Christopher Lee in a fine sword-and-sandal tribute to mythology.
