FATAL SONG Matters
Many Americans don’t feel comfortable walking into an opera house. They think opera is elitist, pretentious, stuffy, and boring, making it very difficult for opera companies to attract new audiences.
With wit, humor, and a healthy dose of irreverence, FATAL SONG transforms the stereotypes that keep people away from opera . It welcomes audiences who have never before set foot inside an opera house to an evening of fun and beautiful music. FATAL SONG provides access to the transcendent beauty of opera.
It does this without insulting seasoned opera fans. On the contrary. Though not necessary, a knowledge of opera only enhances enjoyment of FATAL SONG. Opera fans can indulge their passion for opera’s tragic heroines and gorgeous music in a way they never have before. They are invited to laugh at the great characters who have gone to their death season after season, put of a fight against their fate. It invites them to laugh at a comedy, about tragedy.
FATAL SONG works. It’s an evening of satire and humor combined with the world’s most beautiful music. It’s a combination guaranteed to open the heart, mind … and check book.
