Join us for a delightful day to attend the Glimmerglass company premiere of The Rake's Progress with music by Igor Stravinsky and libretto by W.H. Auden & Chester Kallman.
Plot Summary:
A debonair stranger, Nick Shadow, appears to Tom Rakewell and tempts him with the chance to reimagine his future. As Nick conjures a series of enticing adventures for Tom, Anne Trulove fights for Tom’s salvation. Written in Stravinsky’s neoclassical period, Stravinsky’s only full-length opera score sparkles with elegant vocal writing and lively dance rhythms.
The cast includes Deborah Nansteel as the bearded lady, Baba the Turk. Last season, she returned to the Metropolitan Opera as Annina in La Traviata, and you may have seen her as Amneris in Aida in the Finger Lakes Opera production.
A wonderful summer memory awaits with a full day trip to Glimmerglass Opera.
Opera Guild of Rochester has made special arrangements for the matinee performance.
