Count Danilo’s family had forbidden him to marry the beautiful but impoverished Hanna, although they adored each other. Now, circumstance has made her the richest widow in Pontevedro, but the Count hesitates to declare his love, fearing Hanna will think he is only interested in her new fortune. What’s a “Merry Widow” to do? This staging takes Franz Lehár’s ravishing melodies to a world of parties, fantasy, intrigue, and illusion in present-day Paris, where all is not as it seems.
Performed in German; new dialogues by Jen Pitt in English.
This production includes the use of strobe lights and haze.
Run time: Approximately 110 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.

Poppea, the mistress of Emperor Nerone, is determined to ascend the throne—whatever the costs. In a world where gods influence mortal affairs, virtue doesn’t always triumph, and this story of love, deception, murder, and betrayal is as relevant today as it was in composer Claudio Monteverdi’s time.
Performed in Italian with English supertitles.
Run time: approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, including one intermission.
CONTENT ADVISORY WARNING: The staging of the final scene in this production features a brief, stylized and silent depiction of mass gun violence. This production also includes themes of violence, suicide, and sexual content, and will employ the use of stage fog and strobe lighting effects.

Live performances October 30, November 1, 3, and 5, 2023 in the Ellen and James S. Marcus Vocal Arts Studio. Video recorded November 1, 2023. Director's note: "'The Impress.A.I.rio' is an exploration of how artificial intelligence has become an inextricable part of our lives. In a series of connected vignettes, with Mozart's music from his singspiel 'Der Schauspieldirektor' plus two additional arias, we set out to understand [...] the warnings set forth 205 years ago with the publication of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein.' The dialogue was realized by gathering and fusing texts from several different sources: press interviews with Sam Altman, creator and CEO of OpenAI, Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein,' 'The New York Times,' my own writing, Luigi Pirandello's play 'Six Characters in Search of an Author,' and generated text from ChatGPT, an A.I. powered language model." Director, John Giampietro ; Justina Lee, musical preparation ; Nils Neubert, German language preparation ; Nicolò Sbuelz, Italian language preparation ; Annie Shikany, English dialogue preparation and speech coach ; Jason Simms, scenic designer ; Ashley Soliman, costume designer ; Kate Ashton, lighting designer.
