Role Aennchen
Role Aithra
The juice is on the loose
The bonkers, bewildering Die ägyptische Helena begets a suitably lush musical and creative treatment at Bard SummerScape.
Role Aminta
Silent treatment

Role Amore

Role Daphne

Richard Strauss’ “Bucolic Tragedy in One Act” Daphne is one of his most beautiful and most frustrating works.

Gained in translation (November), Teleport me back to… (December).
