CITY OF SAN BER~DINO - REQUEST OR COUNCIL ACTION , , STAFF REPORT The Inland Empire Opera Alliance is the San Bernardino's only organization presenting fUlly-staged operas. They have been able to bring fine performances of "La Boheme", "Don Pasquale", "Madame Butterfly", "Carmen", and "Lucia de Lammermoor" to the area. Unfortunately, due to scheduling difficulties with the California Theater, they have had to move this year's performance to Sturges Auditorium. While this is a lovely facility, it seats less than 800 people and does not have the necessary lighting and sound requirements. This has resulted in reduced ticket revenue and greatly increased technical costs. The Fine Arts Commission recommended for approval the amount of $10,000.00 at their December 10, 1991 meeting. 75.0264 :..:....--. -=~ r!e .:,,..-: s:.:.-r.: ~ :i :i . :... o - I' ~ 4"" .,.

A young man, Alfredo Germont, is introduced to her and when, owing to a momentary indisposition, she is left alone while her friends have gone to dance in the ballroom, he confesses that he has long been in love with her. When the party is over, ViOletta, deeply touched, wonders if this can be true love that has come to her, but she laughs at the idea. ACT II, Scene I: In a country house near Paris. Alfredo and Violetta are living happily together. But Alfredo discovers that his mistress has been selling her possessions to pay expenses, and he goes off to Paris to get money. In his absence, his father arrives and pleads with Violetta to give up his son for the sake of his career and of his sister, whose marriage to a man of good family is endangered by the scandal. Violetta consents and, after a passionate scene with Alfredo on his return, goes, leaving him a letter in which she says that she is returning to her old way of life. Scene II: Alfredo follows Violetta to the house of Flora Bervois, where she has been invited to a masquerade. Loyally, she pretends that she has left him of her own accord, and is in love with another man. Alfredo gambles wildly at cards with Violetta's new lover, Baron Douphol, and wins heavily. Calling the quests to witness, he throws the money at Violetta's feet "in payment", as his father enters the room and gravely rebukes him. ACT :III: Some months later. Violetta, stricken with consumption, is lying in bed, listening to the sounds of carnival in the street and reading a letter from the elder Germont, which tells her that, after a duel with Baron Douphol, Alfredo has gone abroad, but, having learned the truth about Violetta's sacrifice, is returning to beg her forgiveness. Alfredo now arrives and there is an ecstatic reeunion of the lovers, who decide to go away together far from Paris. But Violetta falls, exhausted, and the doctor is sent for as the elder Germont arrives. He has come to take her to his heart as his daughter, but it is too late, and Violetta dies ~n Alfredo's arms. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 23 24 26 27 28 o o RESOLUTION NO.
