Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale, written and performed during the 1918 flu epidemic, is a satirical examination of the pursuit of happiness. We pair this iconic tale with a new work for the same jazz-inspired forces, in which Arna Bontemps’ novel Black Thunder clashes with contemporary social crises. Omari Tau brings his theatrical brilliance to both works.Program includes:
David Dominique - Steam (World Premiere)
Libretto by Joseph Tepperman and David Dominique
Cinematography by Kevin Everson
Igor Stravinsky - A Soldier’s Tale
