In Egypt, Texas, 90-year-old Myrtle Bledsoe revisits painful memories as she seeks self-forgiveness. The opera is essentially a monodrama: Myrtle sings the substantial role, while the other characters mainly speak, with a gospel quartet underscoring moments.
The Russian Jewish Felderman family immigrates to Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 1910. Their story unfolds against the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, World War I, and the Great Depression.
My Life with Albertine is a musical with music and lyrics by Ricky Ian Gordon and book and lyrics Richard Nelson. The story was adapted from parts of the 1913-1927 seven-volume novel In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust. It ran Off-Broadway in 2003. The musical is set in a salle du théâtre (private theatre in a home) in Paris, 1919. For much of the story, the Narrator stands beside a piano and speaks to the audience, as the curtain opens to reveal scenes from his life.
During the Dust Bowl, the dispossessed Joad family travels from Oklahoma to California seeking work. They encounter exploitation and hardship, lose family members along the way, and face flood and displacement; in the final scene, Rosasharn nurses a starving man with milk intended for her stillborn child.
A dying soul travels through spiritual and emotional realms, from the moment of death and a vision of clear white light through peaceful and angry energies, encounters with demons and the Lord of Death, and the choice of a new home before entering life again.
