Madison Lyric Stage to Present ‘Four Murders in Forty Years’
By Francisco SalazarMadison Lyric Stage is set to present an original evening of suspense, music and murder, “Four Murders in Forty Years.”
The work will be performed between Sept. 19 – 21 and will feature operatic excerpts and one-act operas exploring the lives of different individuals
occupying the same tenement apartment over four decades. Each representing a different decade, the evening includes several works including “The Medium” by Gian Carlo Menotti and “La Voix Humaine” by Francis Poulenc and Jean Cocteau.
In a statement, Artistic Director of Madison Lyric Stage, Marc Deaton said, “I wanted to explore the transitory presence of individuals in a single space, which in our production is a dirty tenement apartment, over a period of decades. Utilizing several great operatic works, this production explores the moments that have shaped the apartment’s history, including heartbreak, betrayal and even acts of unexpected kindness.”
Marc Deaton directs with musical direction by Nathaniel Baker. The evening will star Amy Maude Helfer, Heidi Engstrom, Sarah Kennedy, Mary McCue, Emily Solo, Seamus Copland, Alison Lindsay, and Jonathan Mildner.
