À propos de l'événement
Curtis Opera Theatre launches the East Coast premiere of , the MacArthur Award-winning composer ’ highly anticipated operatic setting of W.E.B. Du Bois’s proto-Afrofuturist science fiction short story, (1920), juxtaposed with ’s hot-blooded political thriller, (1643). Presented on a turntable divided in two halves, these worlds unfold simultaneously, with the stage’s rotation creating a visual and sonic spiral for audiences—inviting associations, dissociations, collisions, and confluences. Directed and conceived by fellow MacArthur-winner Yuval Sharon, this innovative co-production features a stellar cast of Curtis singers led by conductor Marc Lowenstein.The Comet / PoppeaGeorge LewisClaudio MonteverdiThe CometL’incoronazione di Poppea
