About

Teatro Grattacielo’s mission is to promote the performances of those works in the operatic repertoire that are rarely heard in the United States. Through performances at Alice Tully Hall and other venues, educational outreach and informal lecture-concerts, Teatro Grattacielo provides emerging artists and music lovers with the opportunity to become familiar with lesser-known repertoire and performance styles, thus promoting the expansion and appreciation of operatic traditions with an eye on innovation and multi-media arts.

Description

Marking its world staged premiere, Joseph Summer’s The Tempest brings Shakespeare’s final masterpiece to the operatic stage with vivid imagination and emotional depth. The opera—set to a libretto by the composer’s daughter, Eve Summer—transforms the tale of exile, forgiveness, and renewal into a richly layered musical world. Summer’s tonal yet adventurous score brims with ensemble writing of exceptional beauty, from tender duets to exuberant finales, offering a contemporary voice deeply attuned to Shakespeare’s spirit.

“Summer’s musical language is comfortably tonal but sophisticated, ceaselessly inventive and often gripping; he’s a vivid musical storyteller… an embarrassment of riches—the marvelous group numbers just keep coming, culminating in a blazingly celebratory climax.” — Opera News, review of 2015 studio recording of The Tempest
