Two
new English versions by Kate Pogue
|
| Mozart's
short, one-act, witty send-up of dueling divas will be presented
in two competing versions in one night! The first will be produced
in a traditional eighteenth-century style and the second in a modern
update that shows how sparks fly when The Sopranos meets
the sopranos. |

World
Premiere
The
Thirteen Clocks
|
|
Music
by Christopher Theofanidis
Libretto
by Peter Webster
Based on a fable by James Thurber
|
|
The
Thirteen Clocks asks you to believe in evil, magic, faith,
trust, friendship, love at first sight, tears, murder, the death
and rebirth of time, dukes and princesses, wandering minstrels,
the Devil, riddles, rhymes, things without a head, invisible singing
spies, hope, music, and, perhaps most importantly, laughter.
