Opera Comics Chris & Adelmo Play the York This Month

By: BWW News Desk Dec. 06, 2006

The York Theatre Company is presenting Chris & Adelmo on stage at The York Theatre (The Theatre at St. Peters, 54th St. just East of Lexington) this month. Performances are on the following Tuesdays in December: the 12th, 19th and 26th at 8 PM.

"The self-styled 'Bad Boys of Opera,' operatic tenor Chris Cain and baritone Adelmo Guidarelli, will return to The York Theatre for a unique musical performance." According to press materials, "their vocal ability and variety will astound even the most jaded theatergoer as they musically slapstick their way from the cafes of Paris to the hills of Arkansas and don Yankee uniforms and perform Gilbert & Sullivan in this hilarious evening of classically-styled comedy. Chris & Adelmo is full of optimism, resourcefulness, talent, and a healthy disregard for the status quo."

There will also be a special New Years Eve performance at 10 PM, which includes a post-show champagne reception. Tickets are $40. An optional pre-show dinner package is also being offered with a 3-course meal at Luna Piena, 53rd between 3rd and 2nd.

Chris Cain and Adelmo Guidarelli, both classically trained, are the hosts of "Voices Among Us," a multi-genre television music talk show and podcast on RCN Channel 8 NYC daily at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. and on RCN Boston at 8 p.m. Visit their website at www.voicesamongus.com for more information about the show.

Chris & Adelmo is directed by Mike Wills, with musical direction by Bruce Staysna and vocal coaching by William Riley.

Tickets are $30 and can be purchased by calling (212) 935-5820 or by going to www.yorktheatre.org.
