Sweet Betsy from Pike, composed by Mark Bucci,
is set in the exciting Gold Rush era of American history.
It is written as a series of delightful musical variations
on the old american folk tune by the same name.
This engaging piece is a natural introduction to opera,
using grand opera's conventions to hilarious effect.
It featured Opera Naples' Young Artists, Anne Leonardi, Dan Bielinski and Carolyn Greiner,
with Robin Shuford Frank accompanying on the piano.
Lucky students at Three oaks Elementary in Ft. Myers, Avaion Elementary in Naples,
Veterans Park academy for the Arts in Lehigh Acres, Edison Park Elementary in Ft. Myers,
Colonial Elementary in Ft. Myers, Corkscrew Elementary in Naples,
Donahue Academy in Ave Maria and the Headquarters Regional Library
on Orange Blossom in Naples all had an introduction to the
wonderful (and wacky) world of opera, courtesy of Opera Naples.
