Teatro Grattacielo is set to present its America 250 double bill, bringing together the world premiere of “Jefferson Lives!” and a new production of Puccini’s “Suor Angelica.”

The production is set to be presented on Nov. 7 and Nov. 8 at The Sam at The Flea Theater.

“Jefferson Lives!” is Teatro Grattacielo’s first commissioned opera, created in collaboration with Polyhymnia, with music by Joshua Daniel Nichols, a libretto by Stefanos Koroneos, and concept and source material by James Harrigan. The opera will star Peterson Townsend and Brian Jeffers.

The world premiere is paired with Puccini’s “Suor Angelica,” presented in a new production shaped by memory, absence, and the lives of women whose voices have been silenced.
