- SYNOPSIS
Based on the wildly successful 1932 Depression era black comedy by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, this new opera centers on a Manhattan dinner party. With only a week’s notice, socialite Millicent Jordan frantically tries to pulls together the perfect dinner party to impress visiting English nobility. As she blithely plans the fashionable soiree, her guests all have secrets, with business intrigues, romantic dalliances, disease, and deceits all ready to unravel her carefully planned arrangements.
