Collegiate Chorale: Knickerbocker Holiday January 25, 2011

Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson teamed up for the first time to create this delightful romantic comedy. First performed in 1938 with Walter Huston in the role of Peter Stuyvesant, the work is one of Weill's deft hybrid theater pieces, which lies somewhere between operetta and musical theater, and also contains bits of political satire. This concert production is directed by Ted Sperling and conducted by James Bagwell with The Collegiate Chorale and the American Symphony Orchestra.
