Knoxville Opera
The Knoxville Opera is an American opera company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was founded in 1978 as the Knoxville Civic Opera by Edward Zambara, who served as Artistic Director until 1981.〔Marquard, Bryan (09 August 2007) ("Edward Zambara, 81; taught singing to acclaimed performers" )''The Boston Globe''〕 The company changed its name and became an entirely professional opera company in 1983.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Knoxville Opera History )〕 Since 1981 the company has had three General Directors who also served as the Principal Conductor; Robert Lyall who served from 1982-1999, Francis Graffeo from 2000-2005, and Brian Salesky who has served in the position since 2005.
The 1978 inaugural performance of ''La Traviata'' included opera stars Delores Ziegler and Knoxville native Mary Costa, who garnered fame for creating the voice of Princess Aurora in the 1959 Disney film ''Sleeping Beauty''. Among the many distinguished artists who have performed with the company, notable appearances include gala performances by Marilyn Horne, Cheryl Studer and Catherine Malfitano,〔Mason, Doug (31 August 2003) ("Renowned soprano returns to Knoxville" )''Knoxville News-Sentinel''〕 in addition to leading roles performed by Rosalind Elias, Mary Dunleavy, Margaret Lattimore, Enrico Di Giuseppe, and Faith Esham. Directors who have appeared regularly with the company include James Marvel, Jay Lesenger, David Gately and Carroll Freeman, the latter having directed more than twenty-five operas with the company beginning with ''The Marriage of Figaro'' in 1996. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Knoxville Opera History )〕 Freeman also served as Artistic Director of the Knoxville Opera Studio at the University of Tennessee, a training program whose members often perform supporting roles with Knoxville Opera as part of their degree.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Knoxville Opera Studio at University of Tennessee )〕
The company performs at the historic Tennessee Theatre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tennessee Theatre Historical Timeline )〕 In 2011, the company celebrated the Tenth Anniversary of their Rossini Festival and Italian Street Fair in downtown Knoxville. In addition to food and crafts, the festival offers free open-air performances by members of the Knoxville Opera and UT Knoxville Opera Studio,〔Lakin, Matt.
