Edgar in Concert

Can one choice change everything? 

Edgar, just the second opera that Giacomo Puccini ever composed, tells the story of a man torn between the promise of virtue and the allure of vice, where love and desire collide with devastating consequences. Moments of striking lyricism underscore a tale of indecision, self-delusion, and betrayal that leads to ruin.

This rare concert presentation offers a tantalizing glimpse into the mind of a master still discovering his voice, just a few years before his greatest triumphs. Principal Conductor Christopher Franklin leads the MN Opera Orchestra and the MN Opera Chorus on stage behind the cast of principal artists.

Estimated Run Time: 1 hour and 49 minutes with 1 intermission

Sung in Italian with English captions projected above the stage.

Temas

Edgar is drawn toward two very different people, who represent different paths to take in life. How do you know when a particular person is beneficial to your life? How do you know when they are harmful? And if they’re a bit of both, how do you decide what is most important to you?
