A Quiet Place: New York
In tribute to the centenary of distinguished alumnus Leonard Bernstein, the Curtis Opera Theatre presents the American premiere of Garth Edwin Sunderland’s chamber adaptation of A Quiet Place, which Bernstein wrote with librettist Stephen Wadsworth in the 1980s. A family reels in the wake of tragedy, stirring unhappy memories and long-buried resentments. With their midcentury suburban paradise in shreds, the survivors have a choice: to hurt one another again—or to heal.
Concert production with members of the Curtis Symphony Orchestra, sung in English with supertitles
