Opera Company of Philadelphia
at the Perelman Theater
Twentieth Century composer Benjamin Britten's hauntingly beautiful music is married to an ancient Roman tale in this acclaimed chamber opera. The men of the Roman army have discovered that during their absence, their wives have faithlessly betrayed them - all but one, that is. Lucretia has remained faithful to her husband, Collatinus... but when the young prince Tarquinius plots to test her fidelity, he takes not only her chastity, but he brings about her complete ruin.
The acclaimed pairing of baritone Nathan Gunn and tenor William Burden, seen in previous OCP productions of The Pearl Fishers and Cosė fan tutte, return alongside stunning mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford for this electrifying Perelman debut production.
*Please note: Seating availability in the intimate Perelman Theater is limited, and will be assigned based on date of order and donor level. Subscribers have the option to retain their seating for future Perelman productions.
