Based on Willa Cather's story of the same name, Paul's Case chronicles the dissolution of a high school dandy living in sooty turn-of-the-century Pittsburgh. Paul, fleeing the "petty economies" of life, eventually escapes to New York City's Waldorf Astoria to experience a world of "shiny surfaces" and "cool luxury." Unable to avoid a world that demands payment, Paul martyrs himself in a final act of shocking audacity that has troubled critics and readers alike.


This will be the first chance for New York City audiences to hear the second act of this "mesmerizing new chamber opera." (Seen and Heard International) Starring Thomas Wazelle and students from the Manhattan School of Music.  more info...
