Giant

Adapted from the American classic by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edna Ferber (Showboat), Giant is a daring new musical, already acknowledged as one of the most promising contemporary theater debuts. Epic in vision and scope, swept with passion and violence, touched by humor and sorrow, Giant is the powerful story of a Texas rancher and his Virginia-born wife as they face increasing challenges in their marriage and family in an ever-changing American landscape. Five-time Tony Award® nominee (Marie Christine, The Wild Party) LaChiusa is the first recipient of the American Musical Voices Project Award to present a new work on Signature's stage.

Performed from April 28 through May 31, 2009

Antony and Cleopatra


About the Opera
New York City Opera celebrates the centennial of the birth of the great American composer Samuel Barber with concert performances of his masterwork Antony and Cleopatra at Carnegie Hall on January 15th and 16th, 2009. Barber ranked this work among his finest and it remains highly regarded for its melodic richness, striking characterizations, and brilliant orchestration.

The radiant soprano Lauren Flanigan sings the role of Cleopatra, adding to her unique City Opera gallery of colorful American opera heroines including Susan B. Anthony in The Mother of Us All, Abigail Borden in Lizzie Borden, Christine in Mourning Becomes Electra, and the title role of Barber's Vanessa, in which she triumphed last season. Teddy Tahu Rhodes, a striking baritone from New Zealand, makes his City Opera debut as Antony and the rising dramatic tenor Simon O'Neill returns to the company to sing Caesar. The cast also includes City Opera favorites David Pittsinger as Enobarbus, Sandra Piques Eddy as Charmian, and Laura Vlasak Nolen as Iras. City Opera Music Director George Manahan leads the New York City Opera orchestra and chorus in what is sure to be one of the musical highlights of the season.
