HOT Tuesday - Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream
2016-02-16 17:30 | Hawaii Opera Theatre, 848 S Beretania Street, Suite 301, Honolulu, HI, 96813, United States
Shakespeare’s beloved play takes on a new life in Benjamin Britten’s beautiful A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The versatility of the opera—from simple enchantment, a traditional fairytale with plenty of action and comedy, to a psychological treasure trove of madness and cruelty—will allow audiences young and old, seasoned and new, to delight in the production.
As Shakespeare’s most popular comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream was written around 1594 and set to music by Britten in 1960. It portrays the adventures of four young lovers and a group of amateur actors, their interactions with woodland fairies and a duke and duchess. Taking place in a mythical Athens and an enchanted forest, there is a handsome fairy king, a bewitched queen, star-crossed lovers, a weaver who is transformed into a half-donkey, wood sprites, and elves. This work is widely performed around the world, and no wonder—it’s about the world’s most popular pastime: falling in love. But as Puck knows, falling in love can make fools of us all.
This will be an exciting new production by HOT’s own design team under the artistic direction of Henry Akina.

Hawaii Opera Theatre (HOT), the Islands’ only opera company, announces a one night only performance by the internationally acclaimed group Sol3 Mio. This talented trio of classically trained New Zealanders, saw their self-titled debut album released in 26 countries and have performed at sold out venues across the globe. They make their Hawaii debut with Hawaii Opera Theatre.
United by a love of opera and deep family bonds, tenor brothers Pene and Amitai Pati, and their baritone cousin Moses Mackay have carved out a unique niche for themselves. While continuing to study, train and make huge achievements within the classical world, they have been able to take the music they love to a fresh audience, helped along the way by their vivacious good humor, and a refreshing slant on contemporary tunes and the classics.
The talent and hard work of Sol3 Mio has not gone unnoticed in the opera world. Pene recently placed 2nd overall and received the Audience Choice award at Placido Domingo’s Operalia competition in London. Sol3Mio also won two Vodafone Pacific Music Awards in 2014.
HOT’s performance by Sol3 Mio will be held on February 13, 2016, at the Blaisdell Concert Hall, starting at 7:30pm. The group will perform two sets, with an intermission in between.

A Valentine's Engagement starring Brian McKnight
2016-02-13 19:00 | Blaisdell Center, 777 Ward Ave, Honolulu, HI, 96814, United States
BRIAN McKNIGHT featuring special guests En Vogue
Saturday February 13, 2016
R&B crooner Brian McKnight makes his return to Honolulu for a very special Valentines engagement. With a host of hit’s such as “Anytime”, “One Last Cry”, “6,8,12”, “Back at One”, “Crazy Love”, and backed up by his full band, McKnight promises to deliver a show especially for the lovers this Valentines season.
Brian McKnight has earned himself a spot in contemporary music history. He has released 15 albums to date, with several going 2 and 3x platinum, and he has sold over 25 million albums worldwide. In addition to being a singer, songwriter and producer, McKnight is also a multi-instrumentalist who plays nine instruments including piano, guitar, bass, drums, percussions, trombone, tuba, flugelhorn and trumpet.
Born in Buffalo, New York, McKnight’s musical career began in childhood when he became a member of his church NY choir and a bandleader for his high school, Sweet Home High School. By the age of 19, he signed his first recording deal with Mercury Records. In 1992, his self-titled album “Brian McKnight” was released followed by “I Remember You” (1995) and “Anytime” (1997). “Anytime” sold over two million copies and was nominated for a Grammy. In 199 McKnight released “Back at One” on Motown Records, which sold over three million copies
Joining Brian McKnight for this evening of hits will be 90’s R&B sensations En Vogue. En Vogue, the “Real Funky Divas” consists of members Cindy Herron-Braggs, Terry Ellis, and Rhona Bennett. En Vogue, the name rings more than a bell. It invokes memories of a long line of red-hot R&B and pop smashes recorded in the 1990s. Songs like “Hold On,” “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” “Giving Him Something He Can Feel,” “Free Your Mind,” and “Whatta Man” featuring Salt-N-Pepa, are just a sampling of the mega hits made famous by the Pop/R&B super group.
Fusing style, sophistication, sass, and sex appeal, the En Vogue formula was magical and the group went on to sell over eight million albums. In total, En Vogue recorded five albums: 1990’s “Born To Sing;” 1992’s “Funky Divas;” 1997’s “EV3;” 2000’s “Masterpiece Theatre;” and 2002’s “The Gift of Christmas.” There have also been several compilations released including 1999’s “Best of En Vogue” and 2001’s “The Very Best of En Vogue.”
The trio (Cindy, Terry, Rhona), are touring worldwide as well as embarking on some film and television projects. Having grown musically, emotionally, professionally, and creatively, the ladies believe each day is a living affirmation, “…Hold On to your Love” and these ladies love to sing – they have no plans to ever let go.
