Longy School of Music presents A Triple Bill of American Operas, an evening of discovery that playfully considers the question: Who are we, and what defines us? Through three distinct one-act operas, we explore the shifting nature of identity, hidden motivations, and the often-absurd aspects of human relationships, ultimately questioning what truly shapes our sense of self.

Spring Production | A Triple Bill of American Operas

Longy School of Music of Bard College

Following our highly acclaimed productions of Curlew River and The Prodigal Son, Enigma Chamber Opera completes our exploration of Benjamin Britten’s church parables with The Burning Fiery Furnace.

The Burning Fiery Furnace

The Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Boston

Following our highly acclaimed production last year of Britten’s Curlew River, Enigma Chamber Opera bring you another of the church parables: The Prodigal Son.

In this entirely new staging of the piece, we uncover themes of family relationships, division and reconciliation, and the part we all should seek to play in our communities. Last year’s Curlew River taught us that, even in the toughest times, we will find comfort. ‘The Prodigal Son’ shows us how we should be that comfort for those around us.
