Composed in 2007, Tom Cipullo’s acclaimed opera Glory Denied is the story of the longest-held American prisoner of war from the Vietnam era, and his agonizing re-introduction to an America that had moved on without him. Based on Tom Philpott’s book of the same name, Cipullo’s masterful adaptation makes a lasting impression with a thrillingly varied score and a mesmerizing libretto. With over twenty productions to date, Glory Denied is already one of the most frequently performed pieces of the 21st century.  Join us for a truly intimate opera experience of this relevant and timely story that maintains a sense of dramatic intensity from start to finish!

​

La Traviata (The Fallen Woman) premiered at Teatro La Fenice in 1853 and has long been one of the cornerstones of the operatic repertory.  One of Verdi’s most popular operas, it is also one of his most distinct. Unlike the majority of his output which was inspired by grand historical or political events, this work’s subject matter directly addresses social issues contemporary to the composer’s time. It is a melodrama in three acts set to a libretto of Verdi’s longtime collaborator, Francesco Maria Piave, and it is loosely based on the play La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas. Verdi’s perfectly attuned music to his librettist’s taut and vivid prose yields a true masterpiece, an opera not to be missed!​
