Bronx Opera Season 52:
The Consul & The Mikado
The Bronx Opera brings to life the masterwork of Gian Carlo Menotti's, "The Consul", for 4 performances, January 12th, 13th, 18th and 19th at the Lovinger Theater at Lehman College in The Bronx.
This Opera, first performed on March 1, 1950, went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle - Best Musical Play in 1950. It is eerily current in today's political climate. The story is about a small European country and its totalitarian regime. The main characters are John Sorel and his wife Magda. John is being sought by the secret police for his dissident efforts and his wife must find a way to get a visa to leave the country. A bit of Art imitating life.
This powerful musical drama will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end.
The leading role of Magda is being played by two outstanding sopranos Mary-Hollis Hundley and Marina Harris who both give amazing performances about love, loss and finding your way in the world.
The Bronx Opera Company founded in 1967 has been producing operas each year since it's founding, showcasing extraordinarily talented singers.

Tickets are available on the The Bronx Opera Company website and also available at the door at the Lovinger Theater at Lehman College.
