From the Fantastical to the Familiar
Company: Commonwealth Chorale
Gian Carlo Menotti: The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The ManticoreRandall Thompson: Frostiana
Menotti’s charming madrigal opera is one of the composer’s most accomplished works. In it he introduces us to three mythical beasts that represent three phases of life: young, middle, and old age. Under the guise of a fairy tale, he delivers a caustic critique of affectation and materialism. With a small orchestra and an engaging range of musical textures, this piece is sure to delight.
Frost’s seemingly simple poetry is matched by seven beautifully-crafted movements capturing both the essence and impact of the poet’s verse.
