The theme of the concert serves to contrast the restricted and predesignated role of women in the 18th century with the expanding egalitarian role of women and girls today by way of using the arias and duets of the female characters of some of Mozart's most popular operas. Performances a la Carte, whose mode is collaborative and whose mission is to connect the arts with social needs and issues, seeks with this concert to highlight and promote mentorship and development programs, such as Girls on the Run, which foster the development of every girls unlimited potential and to encourage and empower her to realize her dreams.
The story lines of these particular Mozart operas portray a cross section of 18th century girls and women whose only means of dealing with their circumstances is by way of their artful feminine wiles. The beauty, humor, cleverness, fury and pathos represented by these arias run the gamut of emotion and are filled with wit and intelligence. These are not women who suffer fools but who, from experience generally know all too well what they are up against. Mozarts music exquisitely represents that despite appearing hidden and ornamental they creatively utilize the devices of emotion and allure relegated to them to affect their desired outcomes. Please join us to discover just how they do it.
