Description
The need to laugh is both personal and universal, becoming more and more so as our world becomes increasingly divided and difficult to thrive in. This program builds on the overlapping humor and play of three friends who happen to also be colleagues, each bringing in their own personal quirks and creativity, while also bringing some relieving levity to our troubled world. Four 18th-century ladies bicker over bridge in Caldara’s Il Guoco del Quadriglio (The Card Game), PDQ Bach’s Iphigenia in Brooklyn lampoons the dramatic cantata, and a multi-media world premiere by John Morrison plays with the theatrics of a backgammon match.
