Chelsea is delighted to return to Lyric Theater of San Jose for their summer production of Gondoliers! She will be playing the role of Gianetta.
The Gondoliers involves a pair of handsome Venetian gondola oarsmen and a mix up of identities at birth. Along the way to resolving the confusion, Gilbert skewers issues of social equality and the class system with his usual brilliant wit and groundbreaking lyrics. When The Gondoliers premiered in London in 1889, it was given the highest critical acclaim from local media and from England’s Queen Victoria herself, who was so moved that she wrote extensively in her personal diary of the show’s inescapable charm. One journalist reviewing the production wrote, plainly, “it is not opera or play. It is simply entertainment – the most exquisite entertainment we have ever seen.”
While most Gilbert & Sullivan operettas are strictly set within the confines of the composer’s home country of England, The Gondoliers score was widely influenced by a visit Sullivan made to Italy in 1888. Italian folk dances such as the tarantella and saltarello jostle with other vivacious national dances such as the cachucha (a fast gypsy dance from Spain) and operatic influences including Bellini, Bizet, Handel and Mozart.

You are invited to Chelsea’s very first Southern California Recital!
Saturday, April 28th, 2012 @ 12pm
Everyone has been so supportive with their travels up to San Francisco to hear me sing and I thought it would be amazing to come back down to Thousand Oaks and sing before starting my Graduate degree. Tom and Grace Hollow, my incredible parents, are opening up their house for this event and I will be joined by Jordan Eldredge, Thomas Hollow, and Kevin Su Fukagawa. We will be performing an afternoon recital of operatic arias, musical theater songs, and duets. There will be light appetizers and beverages; it is sure to be a fun-filled family event!
This is a fundraising recital to replenish the funds I used to fly across the country to audition, so donations will be welcome at the event. In addition, we will be selling some of my CDs and DVDs but really, I just want to see you! Come join us for a fun daytime recital.
If you cannot attend but would still like to donate, feel free to send contributions online.
Recital will take place at The Hollow’s home in Thousand Oaks, CA (email Chelsea for address)

Chelsea is delighted to join the Lyric Theatre of San Jose as Aline in their production of The Sorcerer. One of Gilbert and Sullivan’s earliest operettas, The Sorcerer is the tale of a young couple who want everyone to be happily mated, but inadvertently set off ridiculous pairings of townspeople through the misuse of John Wellington Wells’ magic tea potion. Come see this beloved operetta with a new twist; Bollywood style meets Victoriana. What magic will be needed to restore order?
