THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDEGROOM
by Dan Shore

Recorded April 19-21
Plaza Theatre at the Boston Center for the Arts South End Campus

The Beautiful Bridegroom, a one-act comic opera for six women, has been hailed as "a little masterpiece" by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Del Tredici. Based on an 18th-century play by Ludvig Holberg, this Mozart pastiche tells the story of a widow who has been searching for a young husband - not for her two marriageable daughters, but for herself. Perfect for opera workshops, college opera departments, and small opera companies.
