American Lyric Theater (ALT) was founded by Lawrence Edelson in 2005 to build a new body of operatic repertoire for new audiences by nurturing composers and librettists, developing sustainable artistic collaborations, and contributing new works to the national canon.
On Friday, June 2nd at 7:30pm, ALT presents a concert reading of WORKING FOR THE MACBETHS by Johanny Navarro and Marcus Yi. Shakespeare meets Monty Python in WORKING FOR THE MACBETHS, a riotous look behind the tragedy we think we all know. After three witches prophesize the downfall of Macbeth, Florinda - Lady Macbeth’s Lady-in-Waiting - is determined to fight fate and give the Macbeths the happy ending they deserve. Can destiny be changed, or is the play doomed to repeat itself?
