Fava Presents “la Perichole” Operetta At Miller Outdoor Theatre June 29, 2012

The Franco-American Vocal Academy presents its repertoire of French Operetta "La Périchole" at Miller Outdoor Theatre. The performance, staged to be sung in French by 22 young singers, is based on Micaela Villegas, a beloved 18th century Peruvian entertainer and the famous mistress of Manuel de Amat y Juniet, Viceroy of Peru from 1761 to 1776. The story highlights two impoverished Peruvian street-singers too poor to afford a marriage license, and a lecherous viceroy, Don Andrès de Ribeira, who wishes to make La Périchole his mistress.
