To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Gian Carlo Menotti’s birth

“An Operatic Double Bill”

A Hand of Bridge, Music by Samuel Barber, libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti
The Medium, Music and libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti

Barber and Menotti’s A Hand of Bridge combines the influence of Jazz with romanticism to paint a clever portrait of the inner thoughts of two married couples playing a hand of bridge. The Medium had a successful run on Broadway during the 1940’s. This gripping drama packs a punch with super natural twists and gorgeous melodies.

Mozart’s comic confection Così fan tutte (Women are all alike) tells of the adventure of two mismatched couples that manage to find happiness in spite of their muddled emotions. Mozart wrote some of his most beautiful music for this treasured masterpiece.
