Intimate Apparel by Gordon, Sun 06 Mar 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Bartlett Sher,, Conductor Steven Osgood, Lincoln Center, New York City, United States

Our beautiful new opera, INTIMATE APPAREL, was three weeks into previews and had hit its stride when we had to shut down so abruptly in March 2020. The show had been bringing audiences to their feet nightly, cheering for the moving performances and for the joy of hearing Lynn Nottage’s story and Ricky Ian Gordon’s music in our intimate space. Opening Night was just ten days away! We knew we had to find a way to bring the show back. And now, after this unimaginably long wait, we are delighted to tell you that INTIMATE APPAREL will return to the Newhouse this winter to continue its run! The show is part of The Met/LCT Opera/Musical Theater Commissioning Program and it’s the first to be done at LCT. And although we have, of course, done sung-through musicals before, this is our first opera! It is directed by one of our Resident Directors, Bartlett Sher, who directed My Fair Lady most recently for us, among so many LCT favorites.
