SUMMARY:Kurt Weill: 2012, But the days grow short ...
DESCRIPTION:
 <p>DIRECTOR <a href="http://music.msu.edu/faculty/profile/melanie">Melanie 
 Helton</a>\n
 With 
 twelve-piece orchestral ensemble\n
 \n
 Long ago, 
 the Mayans predicted that the world will end 
 on December 21, 2012. But there have been many 
 times in human history where the world seemed 
 destined for disaster. Through the music 
 of Kurt Weill, MSU Opera Theatre embarks upon 
 its first experiential piece of music theatre. 
 Audience members will be immersed in a theatrical 
 experience where they will find it difficult 
 to separate reality from theatre. Through 
 Weill's short opera Mahagonny Songspiel 
 and songs from The Threepenny Opera, Happy End, 
 Knickerbocker Holiday, Street Scene, and 
 Lady in the Dark, among others, patrons will 
 join in a journey from despair to hope, from 
 isolation to community. Don't miss this opportunity 
 for a new and highly theatrical evening, 
 featuring the stirring and beautiful songs 
 of a composer who fled Hitler for the freedom 
 of America. Sung in English. <i>A preview lecture 
 will be held 45 minutes before each performance.</i>\n
 \n
 <i>This 
 performance is funded 
 in part by the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music, 
 Inc., New York, NY.</i>\n
 \n
 Reserved seating.
