SUMMARY:The New Seven Deadly Sins (Minnesota Premiere)
DESCRIPTION:“Skylark Opera Theatre presents the Minnesota premiere of The New Seven Deadly Sins August 7-10\, 2025\, at The Crane Theater. The production is a daring blend of contemporary song and dance featuring seven original songs commissioned by the Carnegie Hall Corporation for the legendary Audra McDonald. \nEach sin is brought to life through the unique musical styles of some of the most gifted living composers of opera and musical theater. These powerhouse songs will be paired with bold\, evocative choreography from director Nikki Swoboda and musical direction by Skylark’s own James Barnett. \nSoprano Bergen Baker brings vocal fire to each piece\, while dancers Patrick Jeffrey and Sarah Potvin channel the passion and complexity of each “sin’ through movement. This is not your usual song and dance\, it is a visceral\, genre-blending experience where opera and musical theater meet modern dance\, and the results are thrilling. \nThe songs in The New Seven Deadly Sins were composed by:\n• Jeff Blumenkrantz\n• Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens\n• Ricky Ian Gordon\n• Jake Heggie\n• Michael John LaChiusa\n• Steve Marzullo and Mark Campbell\n• John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey

SUMMARY:Orpheus and Euridice at Cincinnati Opera
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati Opera presents a story of “love\, loss\, and letting go.\nOrpheus\, a grieving musician\, loses his beloved Euridice too soon—and is granted one impossible chance to bring her back from the underworld. Guided by music and memory\, he descends into a realm of shadows with only one rule: don’t look back. Ricky Ian Gordon’s Orpheus and Euridice retells the ancient myth with lyrical intimacy and emotional clarity\, blending classical voice with contemporary style. It’s a haunting meditation on love\, loss\, and letting go.”

SUMMARY:"I am Living. I Remember You" – A Midsummer Night's Concert
DESCRIPTION:“This year’s Deep Water Literary Festival launches with an exploration of transformation—where poetry becomes music\, grief becomes art\, and memory becomes a bridge between worlds. Experience the luminous poetry of Marie Howe (New York Poet Laureate 2012-2016) reimagined as song in this special collaborative performance. Composer Ricky Ian Gordon—whose music has been hailed as ‘caviar for a world gorging on pizza’ (The New York Times)—transforms Howe’s verses\, written in the wake of her brother’s death\, into soaring vocal songs. Soprano Jennifer Zetlan\, praised as “a tour de force” (The Wall Street Journal)\, brings these librettos to life with her radiant voice\, interwoven with readings by Marie Howe of her Pulitzer Prize-winning poems.\nThe evening culminates with Grammy-winning pianist Kevin Hays’ improvisatory riff on Philip Glass’s Metamorphosis.”
