Die Tote Stadt - Korngold

Die Tote Stadt - Korngold

Presented in collaboration with Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) at Symphony Hall, Erich Korngold’s Die tote Stadt (“The Dead City”) is an incredibly tender work, embodying the twilight of the Romantic era. Korngold, a remarkable prodigy who later became one of Hollywood’s most important composers, began the opera when he was only 19 and completed it at age 23. It opened simultaneously in December 1920 in Cologne and Hamburg and became one of the biggest operatic successes of the era. The opera’s theme of struggling with the memory of a lost loved one undoubtedly resonated with audiences still traumatized by the recent catastrophe of World War I.

Is this America? - White Snake Projects

With summer just around the corner, White Snake Projects is celebrating the longer days and sunlight with our new season. How wonderful! How exciting!

This year, our theme of “voting as freedom”, in anticipation of the upcoming elections, is anchored by our season opener, “Is This America?,” a world premiere opera exploring the life and legacy of the great Mississippi voting rights activist, Fannie Lou Hamer. Recognizing that the vote is the most powerful weapon ordinary citizens have to control their destiny, Ms. Hamer worked tirelessly, against almost insurmountable odds, to bring her people to the polling booth. Many of the obstacles to voting that Ms. Hamer faced in the ’60s are prevalent today as lawmakers seek to make the exercise of the franchise hard for many of our fellow citizens.

The composer is 85 year old Mary D. Watkins, who is a pioneer for all black woman opera composers.

A demi-god herself, Orfeo is a brilliant musician who shows us the power of music and community to heal and help us overcome our deepest heart aches. Love is love, until they can be together again.
