I had a meeting with the Direct Sales Manager, Dan Murphy, today and he was telling me that Amelia sort of reflects Amelia Earhart's life. And, unintentionally, the movie "Amelia" premiers around the same time that the opera does. Here's the overview from the Seattle Opera's website:
"A first time
mother-to-be, whose psyche has been scarred by the loss of her pilot-father in Vietnam, must break free from anxiety to embrace healing and renewal for the sake of her husband and child in this original story unfolding over a 30-year period beginning in 1966. Amelia interweaves one woman’s emotional journey, the American experience in Vietnam, and elements of the Daedalus and Icarus myth to explore man’s fascination with flight and the dilemmas that arise when vehicles of flight are used for exploration, adventure, and war. With an intensely personal libretto by American poet Gardner McFall (The Pilot’s Daughter), whose father was a Navy pilot lost during Vietnam, this new American opera moves from loss to recuperation, paralysis to flight, as the protagonist, Amelia, ultimately embraces her life and the creative force of love and family."I haven't been able to see a professional opera company perform yet. I hope that my husband and I can make the trip to the opera sometime this year.
