OVERVIEW
LOVE WILL LEAD US TO A QUIET PLACE.
Set in 1950s suburbia, Trouble in Tahiti is about a married couple struggling to find happiness in their discontent. Dinah and Sam go from home to the office, gym, therapist, and the movies, all while yearning for connection, and backed up by a vocal jazz trio.
The Seven Deadly Sins tells of a woman on a journey across the U.S. to earn enough money to buy a home, resisting sin in every city she visits. Weill’s 1933 “ballet chanté” divides heroine Anna into two halves of the same woman: a singer and a dancer. Kanopy Dance joins Madison Opera for this enthralling work.
Don’t miss this double-bill of longing and connection by two extraordinary composers. -
