(florentine opera, cont.) Such little assurances, the Florentine hopes, in addition to the comfort created by the Alterra performances, are making it that much easier for budding fans to put their apprehensions aside and let the grandeur of opera wash over them. This season’s performances include Il Trovatore, La Cenerentola (Cinderella) and the quintessential classicLa Boheme, all in traditional form, and all as accessible as they were to audiences during the open-air summer performances. As the Florentine waits and hopes to see a gradual migration of summer-series audiences making their way down Water Street to the Marcus Center this winter, the warm relationship between Alterra and the Florentine will not lay dormant. Plans are in the works for a day of caroling by the Florentine’s chorus on December 11 at the coffeehouse and another outdoor series at the lakeside café next year. It isn’t likely the crowd will have the opportunity to sing along to their familiar favorite “Bohemian Rhapsody,” but for an ever-growing young audience, some new favorites are starting to sound even better.
