About the Performance

Heartbeat Opera, "an enterprise that has already contributed more to opera's vitality than most major American opera companies," (New York Times) has planned a reinvention of this classic, stripping away the gewgaws and doilies of its original imaginings, and allowing the riveting extremes of these palpable characters to break through.


Composed by Samuel Barber

Libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti

Adapted by Jacob Ashworth

Newly Arranged by Dan Schlosberg

Music Directed by Jacob Ashworth and Dan Schlosberg
