Ames Town & Gown Concert: All-American Program
Roberta Alexander, soprano; retired ISU music faculty member William David, piano.
Performance: Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons)
In France before the revolution two aristocrats who were former lovers now compete with each other in games of seduction and revenge, meeting in private to boast about their talents and conquests. Their sexual targets are virtuous, but that does not concern the pair. After all, they are heartless competitors, or are they? This script combines the worst parts of life such as betrayal and manipulation to the happiest emotions of being in love.
