Twelve Step Opera
Twelve-Step Opera is a unique one-woman storytelling event fusing personal narrative, stand-up comedy, and a classical recital. The spine of the show is the story of one woman's slightly obsessive journey to singing great music, and both dialogue and music concurrently zoom from the sublime to the ridiculous; the audience accompanies Ms. Bogue to the Seattle Opera House, a New York audition studio, the winter of despair, and the spring of hope, all in the same evening. Also chickens. And Verdi!
Contralto Imelda Franklin Bogue sang the Third Lady with Opera Fort Collins’ The Magic Flute in the spring of 2022, covered Azucena with Boulder Opera’s In Trovatore earlier in the year, and returns as a soloist with BOC’s Best of Verdi in June. Other credits include Mrs, Sedley in Britten's Peter Grimes and the Page in Strauss' Salome with Connecticut's Madison Lyric Stage, Angelina in Rossini's La Cenerentola, Zita in Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, Alma March in Adamo's Little Women, Fidalma in Cimarosa's Il Matrimonio Segreto, and Mere Jeanne in Poulenc's Des Dialogues des Carmelites. As an oratorio and concert artist she has been the guest of east coast regional ensembles The Westchester Concert Singers, Crescendo Berkshires, the Salisbury Sinfonietta, the Chappaqua Orchestra, CONCORA, and sacred music series at Holy Apostles College and Christendom College, and has premiered three sacred art song cycles. Her commissioned art song cycle Five for Joy, featuring original poetic text, is available on Apple Music. Ms. Bogue is a Metropolitan Opera Regional Finalist and a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing. She wrote Twelve Step Opera while bored in 2020 and hopes you enjoy it!
