Presented by North Carolina Opera featuring Fidelio! On Sunday, November 14, 2021 at 2:00 PM at Meymandi Concert Hall, Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts FIDELIO is generously sponsored by Ross Lampe, Jr. FIDELIO is Beethoven’s only opera, based on a true story from the French Revolution about a woman who, disguised as a man, freed her husband from prison. The original version of the opera received its premiere in 1805 in Vienna, but thanks to Napoleonic invasion and French occupation, it attracted little notice at first. Beethoven took the opportunity to rewrite the piece – including several versions of the overture – and it was successful in its final version in 1814. The inspired music, the vigor and excitement of the rescue scene, the great chorus, the beauty of the Act I quartet (that has the same feel of a slow movement from one of Beethoven’s symphonies) won over the Viennese public and subsequent audiences. At the same time, the opera’s message of hope, and of liberation from tyranny has made the piece resonate with audiences around the world even beyond its musical impact. Arthur Fagen conducts the NCO Orchestra and Chorus. Alexandra LoBianco (previously seen here in Tosca and Siegfried) sings Leonore, and Carl Tanner (previously seen here in Pagliacci and Samson et Dalila) sings Florestan. Other returning artists include Kenneth Kellogg as Rocco and Takaoki Onishi as Don Fernando.

FIDELIO lasts approximately 2h30m, including one intermission. Sung in German with English supertitles Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven Librettist: Joseph Sonnleithner Premiere: 1814, Theater am Kärntnertor, Vienna, Austria

Goldfish is as fun as his name suggests. This 2-year-old orange tabby has the sassy personality of a cat mixed with the loyalty and need for attention of a dog! Despite coming to us as a stray, he’s very social and loves head pets and to be right up with you, whatever you’re doing. He’s pretty chatty and will definitely let you know if it’s past dinner time! Goldfish gets along with other calm and mellow cats but he would also love to be the only cat in the home, and receive all of your love and attention. Goldfish is FIV positive, but don’t let this deter you from considering him! FIV-positive cats can live long, healthy lives with regular check-ups and a good diet. This friendly and feisty boy would be a great addition to any family that’s looking to add some life and pizzazz to their home. If you think Goldfish could be your purrfect fit, visit Second Chance Pet Adoptions Monday-Friday 11am-5pm or submit an adoption application at www.SecondChanceNC.org.

KIX Kitties and K9s: Eddie

Meet our KIX Pet of the Week, Eddie!

Eddie, a brindle labrador retriever mix, came to us as a 5-month-old puppy, his owners surrendering him because he was too much for them to handle. A year and a half later, we somehow still have this wonderful boy in our care. He’s a clumsy, loveable boy with puppy energy to burn and a playful personality that loves to goof around with fellow dogs or human friends. He is a big boy at 70 pounds but is crate trained, house trained, and does great on a leash. He is still a bit of a pup at 2 years old but he listens very well and is starting to mellow out as he gets older. A fenced yard is a definite must for Eddie, so he can get all of his energy out. He would do great in a home with another dog to play with, but he’d also love to be the center of attention and get all of your playtime! If you think sweet Eddie could be your perfect match, fill out an adoption application at www.SecondChanceNC.org!

KIX Kitties and K9s: Starfire

Meet our KIX Pet of the Week, Starfire the cat!

In early May, we received an owner-surrender from a local county shelter. She was a 6-year-old tabby named Starfire with a broken back leg. The leg would end up needing amputation but Starfire never let it get her down for a second, purring and demanding head rubs the whole way. Now, she is a sassy three-legged kitty with a heart of gold and a desire for snuggles. She would do well in a home with cats that leave her be, but we think she would be happiest as the only cat in the home. Her sweet disposition and playful personality, regardless of her missing limb, will surely capture your heart. If you’d like to meet our sweet tripod girl, visit Second Chance Pet Adoptions Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. or submit an adoption application at www.SecondChanceNC.org.

KIX Kitties and K9s: Lanky

Meet our KIX Pet of the Week, Lanky the dog!

In August of 2021, a 7 year old hound mix named Lanky came to us from a local county shelter. He quickly became a favorite of everybody he met because his favorite place to be is right next to you, doing whatever you’re doing. He’s a big boy at 70 pounds, so he loves going on walks and going to the dog park to get some exercise and play with his friends. He would love a house with a yard to run around in but would also do well in an apartment with daily walks. He loves kids but he hasn’t been around cats too much, and we think he may be too playful for most cats. If you’re looking for a goofy and cuddly partner, look no further! If you think Lanky could be your forever boy, fill out an adoption application at www.SecondChanceNC.org!
