"Suddenly Last Summer"

• Enjoy performances of this thrilling new opera based on Tennessee Williams’ play by the same name. In this hybrid music-theater work, Courtney Bryan premieres a ravishing score inspired by the play’s two worlds: the Mediterranean coast and the Garden District of New Orleans, Bryan’s hometown. Director Daniel Fish and Fisher Center Artistic Director and Chief Executive Gideon Lester have shaped a libretto from Williams’ tale of power, desire, and the lengths a family will go to protect its legacy.
