Program Notes by Richard Russell

Opera New Jersey presents this tale of oppression, bureaucracy, and desire for freedom, set upon the backdrop of an unnamed eastern bloc country.

Gian Carlo Menotti’s first full-length opera, often considered his finest, premiered 60 years ago in Philadelphia. and is presented as a celebration of his centenary in 2011.

This production, which features full orchestra, and soloists will be sung in English with English text projected above the stage.
