Description:
Gordon Getty's latest work Opera adaptation of the English novel "Goodbye, Mr. Chips"! Gordon Getty's fourth opera, "Farewell, Mr. Chips," featuring Nathan Graner, Melody Moore, Lester Lynch, Kevin Short, and other talented solo singers, conducted by Dennis Dobbin and performed by the San Francisco Boys Choir and the Barbary Coast Orchestra. The program will be performed by the San Francisco Boys Choir and the Barbary Coast Orchestra. This opera in two acts is based on the popular 1934 novel "Farewell, Mr. Chips" and other stories by British novelist James Hilton, which has been adapted for the stage many times. The heartwarming story of Chips, who devoted most of his life to his position as a teacher at a boys' boarding school in the small town of Brookfield in eastern England, chronicles the love, loss, and learning that took place throughout his decades-long tenure at the school. Watching Chips and thousands of boys enrich each other's lives reminds us of the impact one good teacher can have. Getty worked on both the music and the libretto for this opera, in which the main character reflects on an important episode in his life. The completion of this opera was the realization of a longtime dream for Getty, who has been fascinated by the character and story of Chips for decades. The 60-plus page booklet includes lyrics and color photos of each cast member. 2-CD SACD hybrid release. PENTATONE
