THE RAKE’S PROGRESS – company premiere
Music by Igor Stravinsky/Libretto by W.H. Auden & Chester Kallman
Six performances: July 19m, 29m; August 3m, 9, 11m, 15
A debonair stranger, Nick Shadow, appears to Tom Rakewell and tempts him with the chance to reimagine his future. As Nick conjures a series of enticing adventures for Tom, Anne Trulove fights for Tom’s salvation. Written in Stravinsky’s neoclassical period, Stravinsky’s only full-length opera score sparkles with elegant vocal writing and lively dance rhythms.
