Can one choice change everything?<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span><\/h5>\n

Edgar,<\/span><\/i>\u202fjust the second opera that Giacomo Puccini ever composed, tells the story of a man torn between the\u202fpromise of virtue and the allure of vice, where love\u202fand desire collide with devastating consequences. Moments of striking lyricism underscore a tale of\u202findecision, self-delusion, and betrayal that leads to\u202fruin.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estimated Run Time:<\/strong>\u202f<\/span><\/b>1 hour and 49 minutes with 1 intermission<\/span><\/p>\n

Sung in Italian with English captions projected above the stage.<\/em><\/p>\n
