The Vermont Opera Project presents Dominick Argento's The Andrée Expedition starring Emmy award winning Baritone Michael Chioldi.
Michael Chioldi has performed at nearly every major American opera house, including The Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Washington National Opera and Los Angeles Opera.
The Story:
A hundred years ago the conquering of the North and South Poles were two of the few remaining geographical objectives not yet reached by civilized Europeans. On July 11, 1897, Solomon August Andrée, Nils Strindberg, and Knut Fraenkel left on a doomed expedition to fly to the North Pole in a hot air balloon. Thirty three years later, their bodies as well as their journals, letters, and diaries were found and returned to Sweden. Most of the text for this song cycle is taken directly from those documents.
