Experience this rarely performed masterpiece by one of the great composers of the 20th century. Written by Weill during his brief exile in Paris, Marie Galante has never been performed in the United States. OFNY is pleased to bring you the premiere of this brilliant work of music theater. Kidnap! Sex! Espionage! Witness the tragedy of the innocent Marie as she is abducted from Bordeaux and abandoned to fend for herself in South America. OFNY music director Yves Abel conducts the orchestra in his only New York appearance this season. This collaboration with the French Institute Alliance Française is staged by the company’s co-artistic directors Jean-Philippe Clarac and Olivier Deloeuil, with production design by Carol Bailey and lighting design by Rick Martin. |
