GLIMMERGLASS
Stravinsky's
The Rake's Progress
Tuesday, 7/29/25
TICKETS NOW ON SALE FOR THIS COMPANY PREMIERE!
Music by Igor Stravinsky/Libretto by W.H. Auden & Chester Kallman
A debonair stranger, Nick Shadow, appears to Tom Rakewell and tempts him with the chance to reimagine his future. As Nick conjures a series of enticing adventures for Tom, Anne Trulove fights for Tom’s salvation. Written in Stravinsky’s neoclassical period, Stravinsky’s only full-length opera score sparkles with elegant vocal writing and lively dance rhythms.
The cast includes Deborah Nansteel as the bearded lady, Baba the Turk. Last season, she returned to the Metropolitan Opera as Annina in La Traviata, and you may have seen her as Amneris in Aida in the Finger Lakes Opera production.
2024 trip attendees enjoyed dinner at the delightful Brewster Inn after seeing Pirates of Penzance at Glimmerglass.
