The American Dream is in trouble. Despite Sam & Dinah’s house in the suburbs, wealth, position, and status, they simply cannot find a way to be happy. Leonard Bernstein’s opera reminds us that human connections are complex but essential.
This 2018 opera by Evan Mack and Joshua McGuire explores the mind of literary notable, Zelda Fitzgerald, as the world of her own creation is compromised by reality. Which part is real? Amid the clamor of the “Roaring 20s”, Zelda senses the unstoppable march of time.
