Gertrude's Paris

1faf

Gertrude Stein's words inspired many a composer, most notably Virgil Thomson. His rarely performed Capital Capitals, a musical conversation among the Provencal cities of Aix, Arles, Avignon, and Les Baux is paired with Ned Rorem's Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters, a setting of Stein's surreal non-linear murder mystery. Hailed as "audaciously entertaining" by The New York Times, this program of one-acts by Encompass New Opera Theatre is directed by Nancy Rhodes, with music direction by Mara Waldman.
