Street Scene
13 July 7:15 PM
Buxton Festival 2008
An ‘American opera’ in two acts
Street Scene is a triumphant meeting of Broadway musical and American opera, incorporating a dazzling array of show tunes, arias, blues, jazz and spirituals: a musical melting pot that captures the true diversity of life in 1946 New York. Described by Weill as ‘a simple story of everyday life in a big city, a story of love and passion and greed and death’, the opera follows the inhabitants of a tenement building over one hot summer’s day.
