Lee Hoiby’s A MONTH IN THE COU

Hoiby’s opera based on Turgenev’s tragic-comedy, first performed at the New York City Opera and called “a wonderful new opera, a loveliness steeped in sadness and, at once, lightness.” The NY Times was “engrossed by it, and by the opera's psychological insight and grateful vocal writing, both equally rare.” Seven performances July 31-Aug. 22. CAST: Natalia Petrovna: Patricia Johnson; Rakitin: David Trombley; Vera: Brittany Palmer; Belaev: Christian Bowers; Arkady: Mariano Vidal; Lisaveta: Jeanne-Marie Lowell; AnnaSemyonovna: Carol Diefenbach; Conductor: Kenneth Hamrick; Director: Mark Shulgasser; Set Design: Laura Jellinek; Lights: Dan Scully; Costumes: David Withrow.
