Duelling Divas - "The Opera You Can't Refuse" - Wows Audiences Across the Country
Filled with madcap hilarity, Duelling Divas is one of the campiest twists on opera ever to come along. These delicious and glamorific Divas are leaving their audiences awestruck with their sheer talent and powerful voices.
Online, November 24, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Fresh, entertaining and a thundering success, Duelling Divas delivers a madcap romp filled with cleverly ridiculous comedy and note-perfect arias. This wild ride is the brilliant creation of Birgit Fioravante and Wendy Reynolds, the Divas who battle one another for stage time, with high notes as weapons, served with a side-splitting outpouring of emotion.
The elaborate and twisted storyline involves Baroness Vladka von Loudenstimme (Fioravante) who enjoys the stage but enjoys drinking off stage even more. So she can sprint offstage for drinks, Vladka hires the young Southern belle, Gwendoline Josephine Bellevoix Bouvier (Reynolds), to occupy the audience. Accompanying the Divas on piano is Paige Turner (Dr. Heather Coltman) who serves as a comical referee. The Duelling Divas are gaining enormous attention for their absolutely perfect reassertion of an opera singer's vanity, all while embracing the decadence of the art. Breathing some much-needed spunk into the opera world, they prove once and for all that opera can be fun, and their nationally touring production is being hailed as a must-see.
Gathering a broader audience than most operas, the Duelling Divas are destined to bring opera to the masses. As they continue to receive unanimous praise from the critics and public, these Divas are primed to become breakout stars.
