DESCRIPTION:Opera Ithaca announces tiered ticket prices for its original fi
 lm production of Giacomo Puccini’s comedy\, Gianni Schicchi. The regular st
 reaming price is $25\, with tickets available at $15 for industry members a
 nd $10 for students.\n\nThis ”backstabbingly socially  distant” orchestrate
 d film version of the one-act masterpiece opera\, to be released October 9\
 , will be exclusively available to stream on demand for the first two weeks
  through Cinemapolis\, Ithaca’s premiere independent movie theatre: https:/
 /cinemapolis.org/film/opera-ithaca-presents-gianni-schicchi/. Following its
  run at Cinemapolis\, Gianni Schicchi will be streamed on demand at www.ope
 raithaca.org.\n\n“Opera Ithaca is committed to making Gianni Schicchi acces
 sible to everyone\,” says Artistic Director Ben Robinson\, adding that “we 
 would like to see this exciting medium of film reach a completely new audie
 nce and revolutionize what it means to present modern\, cutting-edge opera 
 theatre.” \n\nGianni Schicchi\, which was remotely filmed and recorded acro
 ss the country\, is a bold step for the boundary-breaking company. Partneri
 ng with the Ithaca-based studio PhotoSynthesis Productions\, this film sets
  the familiar tale of the scheming (and recently disinherited) Donati famil
 y in the pandemic-tinged present. “It’s the next step for opera: infusing s
 tate of the art technology to create a film that offers a refreshing commen
 t on the present\, while staying true to the legacy and history of the art 
 form\,” says Robinson. \n\nWith the convenience of the stream-on-demand mod
 el\, this unique production of Gianni Schicchi offers an easy\, low-barrier
  way to access one of the treasures of the operatic repertoire. At a time w
 hen most theatres are not able to present live performances\, Opera Ithaca 
 is offering the perfect antidote to pandemic-weary arts lovers. \n\nThe cas
 t includes Opera Ithaca veterans Dennis Jesse in the title role\, renowned 
 soprano Emily Pulley in her role debut as Zita\, Elena Galván as Lauretta\,
  Daniel Bates as Rinuccio\, and Steven Stull as Simone. Nicholas Davis make
 s his company debut as Betto. The work was directed by Opera Ithaca Artisti
 c Director Ben Robinson\, with Christopher Zemliauskas as conductor. The op
 era’s audio project design was led by Benjamin Costello and the project was
  co-directed and edited by David Kossack\, working with his studio\, PhotoS
 ynthesis Productions.
