Le prophète at Bard SummerScape

July 26–August 4, 2024

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater

Description

Religion, power, ego, and manipulation collide in composer Giacomo Meyerbeer’s glorious psychodrama. Director Christian Räth (Die schweigsame Frau, 2022 and Das Wunder der Heliane, 2019) returns for a third SummerScape to lead a visionary new production of a grand opera with colorful vocal passages, inventive orchestrations, and a catastrophic end.

Sung in French with English supertitles.
