Spoleto Festival USA 2011: THE MEDIUM by Gian Carlo Menotti

In celebration of the centenary of the birth of Gian Carlo Menotti—Pulitzer Prize–winning composer and Festival founder—Spoleto takes a fresh look at one of Menotti’s most popular and compelling operas. Set amid the devastation of post-war Europe, the haunting ghost story is about a fraudulent medium who ultimately becomes the victim of the voices she conjures. An instant sensation on Broadway where it ran for over 100 performances, the opera’s balance of delicate orchestration, lyric writing, and intense theatricality define the Menotti style. Directed and designed by John Pascoe (of last year’s runaway hit, Flora, an Opera), with Artistic Director for Choral Activities and longtime Menotti associate Joseph Flummerfelt conducting.
