Current Season
2011-2012 Season
By Kirke Mechem
Based on the play by Moliere
Sung in English with English surtitles.
When you plan to give a somewhat dubious holy man your daughter's hand, you'd better make sure he isn't also seducing your wife and robbing you blind. A lively and hilarious look at hypocrisy and greed hiding behind a mask of piety, Moliere's Tartuffe is one of the great classics of the theatre. This opera version has already had over 100 productions around the world and will delight you with its brio, wit and charm.
