"I never thought it was strange in any way, and just felt that what I was doing as a child was normal, said Deutscher, who resides in Vienna but considers San Jose a second home. As a child, I thought it would be very strange not to be a composer and studying scores; that was the most completely normal thing in the world for me."
"It's set to run at the California Theatre Feb. 15 through March 1. The operas which feature the post-Romantic Italian style of realism known as verismo explore devastating and primal themes such as jealousy, infidelity and murder. Opera San Jose's newest production presents the two operas as one-acts, with Deutscher taking the conductor's wand for both. During the run, she'll celebrating her 21st birthday."
Alma Deutscher began piano at age two, composed an opera at ten, and experienced that work's world premiere at Opera San Jose at twelve. She lives in Vienna and considers San Jose a second home. Deutscher views her early composing and score study as normal rather than prodigious. She returns to lead Opera San Jose in a double bill of Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana and Ruggero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, set to run Feb. 15–March 1 at the California Theatre. The operas exemplify verismo, exploring jealousy, infidelity and murder. Opera San Jose presents both works as one-acts, with Deutscher conducting both performances and celebrating her 21st birthday during the run.
