Tartuffe January 29, 2012

Music and libretto by Kirke Mecham
Based on a play by Molière
When you plan to give a somewhat dubious holy man your daughter’s hand, you’d better make sure he isn’t also seducing your wife and robbing you blind. A lively and hilarious look at hypocrisy and greed hiding behind a mask of piety, Molière’s Tartuffe is one of the great classics of the theatre. This opera version has already had over 100 productions around the world and will delight you with its brio, wit, and charm. Our production is set in an elegant villa in Monaco in the 1920’s. Sung in English with English surtitles.

Free preview lectures begin 45 minutes before curtain.
The composer/librettist will be present for the weekend performances and preview lectures.
