Our Founders, Louisa Proske and ethan heard, Are Stealing the Spotlight Too
While Heartbeat shakes up Williamstown Theatre Festival, our fearless co-founding directors are headlining at one of the country's most iconic opera festivals: The Glimmerglass Festival!
Louisa kicks off the Glimmerglass season!
Tosca Art by The Glimmerglass Festival
Music by Giacomo Puccini/Libretto by Luigi Illica & Giuseppe Giacosa
10 performances: July 11, 13m, 20m, 22m; August 1, 4m, 7, 9m, 14, 16m
Tosca, a tempestuous diva, lives for art—and for love. When Cavaradossi, her lover and a revolutionary painter, is targeted by Rome’s corrupt chief of police, Tosca is determined to save him—but at what price? Puccini’s lush score, written on the heels of La bohème, contrasts moments of exquisite tenderness with heart-stopping sonic spectacle.
Sunday in the Park With George Art by The Glimmerglass Festival
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Orchestrations by Michael Starobin
Originally Produced on Broadway by The Shubert Organization and Emanuel Azenberg
By arrangement with Playwrights Horizons, Inc. New York City which produced the original production of Sunday in The Park With George in 1983.
9 performances: July 12, 17, 19, 21m; August 2, 5m, 8, 10, 17m
Inspired by Georges Seurat’s groundbreaking painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, this musical is a meditation on the artistic process, seen through the eyes of Georges Seurat in 1884 and an imagined great-grandson, also an artist, in 1984. Nominated for 10 Tony Awards and Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Sondheim’s innovative score explores pointillism in sound before opening out into one of the most glorious choral finales in the repertory.
This production of Sunday in The Park With George was licensed by Music Theatre International.
