Baritone

Our Autumn Opera Double Bill pairs Gian Carlo Menotti’s sparkling comic opera Amelia al ballo with Leonard Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti, a sharp, jazz-inflected portrait of suburban life and marital disconnection. At first glance, these two one-act works could not be more different. Look closer, and they are in an illuminating conversation. 

Opera Double Bill: Menotti’s 'Amelia al ballo' & Bernstein’s 'Trouble in Tahiti'

Guildhall School of Music and Drama - Milton Court

Concert performance, with surtitles. Intoxicating. Passionate. Transcendent. Wagner plunges the depths and rises to ecstatic heights in one of the greatest and most intense of operatic love stories.
