Manhattan socialite Millicent Jordan plans a lavish dinner party for visiting English nobility, unaware that her guest list abounds with invitees linked by business intrigues and romantic entanglements. In adapting the witty and biting depression-era play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, Pulitzer Prize- and Grammy Award-winning composer William Bolcom (A view from the Bridge, A Wedding), and renowned librettist Mark Campbell (Silent Night, The Shining) have created a winning new work that successfully weds American musical comedy and opera.

Preliminary run time of 2 hours and 54 minutes, including one intermission.

Subscription packages are available now! Individual tickets for all performances will go on sale July 25, 2016.

Sung in English with English captions projected above the stage.
