The Empty Opera House by Stephen DeCesare Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music

By Stephen DeCesare

A powerful one-woman dramatic concert for soprano blending spoken theater with complete operatic selections into an intimate and emotionally charged theatrical experience. Set inside an abandoned opera house awaiting demolition, a legendary soprano returns alone to the stage that shaped her life and career.Through memories of love, ambition, sacrifice, aging, loss, and artistic survival, she revisits the emotional truths hidden beneath a lifetime of applause. Featuring complete selections from Puccini, Verdi, Saint-Saëns, and Giordano: including “Vissi d’arte,” “Un bel dì,” “Pace, pace, mio Dio,” “Mon cœur s’ouvre à ta voix,” and “La mamma morta”...the work explores the fragile line between performer and person, public triumph and private loneliness.The evening concludes with an original final song, “When the Applause Is Gone,” revealing the woman behind the voice for the very first time.Ideal for dramatic sopranos, recital performers, conservatories, chamber theater settings, vocal showcases, and intimate theatrical productions.Minimal staging. Maximum emotional impact.
