SUMMARY:THE COMET  /  POPPEA - The Curtis Music Institute
DESCRIPTION:The Comet / Poppea \nComposed by GEORGE LEWIS\nLibretto by DOUGLAS KEARNEY\nConceived & Directed by YUVAL SHARON \nEAST COAST PREMIERE\nNovember 2 & 3\, 2024\nThe Curtis Music Institute\nCurtis Opera Theatre \nTickets \nCurtis Opera Theatre launches the East Coast premiere of The Comet / Poppea\, the MacArthur Award-winning composer George Lewis’ highly anticipated operatic setting of W.E.B. Du Bois’s proto-Afrofuturist science fiction short story\, The Comet (1920)\, juxtaposed with Claudio Monteverdi’s hot-blooded political thriller\, L’incoronazione di Poppea (1643). Presented on a turntable divided in two halves\, these worlds unfold simultaneously\, with the stage’s rotation creating a visual and sonic spiral for audiences—inviting associations\, dissociations\, collisions\, and confluences. Directed and conceived by fellow MacArthur-winner Yuval Sharon\, this innovative co-production features a stellar cast of Curtis and AMOC* singers led by conductor Marc Lowenstein.  \nDeveloped over six years\, The Comet / Poppea is realized through a landmark partnership among smaller organizations across the United States\, produced by Anthony Roth Costanzo and Cath Brittan\, The Industry\, AMOC* (American Modern Opera Company)\, and the Curtis Institute of Music. \nThe Comet\, composed by George Lewis with Libretto by Douglas Kearney is commissioned by AMOC*.
