LES MAMELLES DE TIRESIAS + MAHAGONNY SONGSPIEL
UC College-Conservatory of Music Opera Double Bill
Feb. 26-28
Cohen Family Studio Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Jose Maria Condemi
Conducted by William Langley

The juxtaposition of these two works by contemporaries Francis Poulenc and Kurt Weill highlights two major artistic movements of the first half of the 20th century — surrealism and expressionism. The texts for these compositions are taken from two poet-playwrights, each towering proponents of these styles – Guilliaume Apollinaire of surrealism and Bertolt Brecht of expressionism. Both operas offer sardonic and poignant commentaries on modern society.
