Triple-Sec/The Medium: Triple-Sec Blitzstein (+1 More)

Triple-Sec
Marc Blitzstein, music
Ronald Jeans, libretto

The Twenties come roaring back to life in Marc Blitzstein’s virtuosic Jazz Age farce, Triple-Sec. First performed in 1929 at the Bellevue-Stratford Ballroom in Philadelphia, this bitingly witty satire pops the cork and pours the bubbly with a fizzy blend of opera and cabaret, viewing the madcap action through the heavy-lidded eyes of an intoxicated audience. As the martinis flow and the absurdity mounts, characters are doubled and tripled, and the dark past of a married man comes back to hilariously haunt him.

The Medium
Gian Carlo Menotti, music and libretto

Gian Carlo Menotti’s gripping operatic thriller, The Medium, follows the tragic tale of a ruthlessly exploitative spiritualist named Madame Flora (“Baba”), her daughter Monica, and her silent servant Toby. One fateful night, as the charlatan psychic extorts another bereaved client through one of her fraudulent séances, she feels a ghostly hand upon her throat, and the lines between reality and the paranormal begin to blur. As the tension builds and secrets are revealed, this uncanny encounter leads to a shocking turn of events.
