On Saturday June 10th at 7pm in St. John's in the Village, join composer/pianist Felix Jarrar for an abridged concert version of Giacomo Meyerbeer's Robert le diable. Premiered in 1831, the work was one of Meyerbeer's most successful and popular operas and catapulted him into considerable international fame.

After neglect from the repertoire during the 20th century, the opera is now making a return to stages around the world as Meyerbeer's work goes through a period of critical reappraisal. "Speak of the Devil" is a concert presentation that highlights some of the most famous and greatest parts of the work - such as the Evocation Scene - and brings it to audiences in an abridged version that clocks in at under 90 minutes.

Tenor Daniel Kamalic and soprano Caroline Spaeth star as Robert and Isabelle alongside bass Robert Ellsworth Feng as Bertram, soprano Rachel Hanauer as Alice, and tenor Douglas Sabo as Raimbaut.

Tickets for general admission are $15.
