Sunday Matinee – Jake Heggie’s Three Decembers
March 26, 2017 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Join HOT for an exciting final evening of a special add-on experience!
Jake Heggie’s critically acclaimed contemporary opera, Three Decembers, is starring the legendary Frederica von Stade.
Composed by Jake Heggie (Moby Dick), Three Decembers is based on a play by Terrence McNally, about Broadway Star, Madeline Mitchell, as she enters the twilight of her career and life. The story unfolds with Madeline, estranged from her children, sharing a secret she has kept, and over three decades hidden truths are revealed as they struggle to find their identities as part of a family and in their lives.
Madeline will be performed by Frederica von Stade, who makes her HOT Debut, in what the Houston Chronicle called “the role of a lifetime” for the opera legend when she created the role in 2008.
Hawaii Opera Theatre will take this production throughout the islands with performances of Three Decembers on Oahu (March 24-26), the Big Island (March 29), Kauai (March 31), & Maui (April 1). Visit the “tickets available” link provided for island-specific location.
