Coralville Center for the Performing Arts

Rita and La colombe operas in a double feature

Rita & La colombe
Rita by Gaetano Donizetti and La colombe by Charles Gounod
Directed by Abbigail Coté
Conducted by Matthew Clarke, Rita, and Yifei (Joey) Sun, La colombe

The 2024-2025 opera season will close with a spring production of French One Acts: La colombe and Rita. These obscure yet treasured pieces have enjoyed a recent resurgence in the opera canon. Gounod’s sparkling score accompanies a farcical tale of seduction, while Donizetti’s Rita takes a darkly comic look at power dynamics in relationships.
