MUSIC: THE AUGUSTA OPERA REDUX
After a Two Year Hiatus, the Opera Returns with a Passion
The story unfolds in a convent in Siena, Italy during the latter part of the 17th century. Enter three nuns with three golden nights and three sinful desires. Add a poison drink, a suicide, a visit from the Virgin Mary and a miraculous reunion with a dead son.
Sounds like premium prime time TV fare or a box office bestseller, right? Sultry, seductive and downright yummy. But, get this … it’s the opera!
WHAT The Passion of Puccini
WHERE Sacred Heart Cultural Center | 1301 Greene Street, Augusta
WHEN Friday, February 25 and Saturday, February 26 at 8 pm | Sunday, February 27 at 3 pm
TICKETS $20 to $35

Lokal Loudness Choice Awards Turn 18
I recently mentioned to a friend that this year – 2011 – will be the 18th time Lokal Loudness Choice awards have been presented to recognize Augusta’s favorite local musicians. I almost spit out my coffee when he said that the awards were “finally going to be old enough to vote.”Yeah, it is hard for me to believe that we have been handing these awards out for such a long time and even harder for me to think that next year Lokal Loudness will celebrate her 20th birthday. When I look at it that way, Lokal Loudness has been a part of me for just a little less than half my life. WOW!
Each year, I find myself enjoying the Choice Awards party a little bit more than the previous year. People tell me that they can imagine the reason(s) why; but, oddly enough, they’re usually wrong. Or, shall I say, they may know SOME of the lesser reasons but not the main one. It is pretty cool to be involved with an event that so many people dig but, quite honestly, I simply enjoy seeing so many people that I have seen and spent time with around town just relaxing and enjoying each other’s company – all the while showing respect and support for each other. I’m not just blowing smoke when I say how special the music community we have here in Augusta is. We may not all agree on some things but, at the end of the day, there exists this love and respect that is rarely found among such a wide rage of artists in other cities. I can’t help but to dig it.
Like previous years, the list of nominees for the 2011 awards is an interesting read. Some names are surprising, some not so surprising and, like always, the list always leads to debate about which artists were nominated and which artists were NOT nominated. But, after all the discussion and debate, the awards show arrives and all talk is put aside for a great evening of music and fun.
