Aria for contralto from the opera Lesson Plan DURATION: 4:30WORLD PREMIERE: On Site Opera, 2022Based on Georg Philip Telemann’s cantata, Der Schulmeister, with additional music, libretto, and singing translation by Rachel J. Peters, Lesson Plan brings an international opera star Alice Tommasso awkwardly into teaching online after a scheduling faux pas while live engagements are paused. Intercepted by an overwhelmed school administrator/amateur choir director, the pair clash over technique and the meaning of art. At this point, Alice wonders if her only remaining choices are to teach dilettantes forever or to leave the profession entirely. Alice publicly reveals--in a plaintive deconstruction of Mozart’s famously difficult “Queen of the Night†star turn--what stymies her most: there is simply no way to compress and convey the experience of a hard-won opera singing career in an hour-long class.For more information about this opera, visit www.racheljpeters.com.
