American composer Jake Heggie’s masterpiece, the most widely performed new opera of the last 20 years, has its highly anticipated Met premiere, in a haunting new production by Ivo van Hove. Based on Sister Helen Prejean’s memoir about her fight for the soul of a condemned murderer, Dead Man Walking matches the high drama of its subject with Heggie’s beautiful and poignant music and a brilliant libretto by Terrence McNally. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for this landmark premiere, with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato starring as Sister Helen. The outstanding cast also features bass-baritone Ryan McKinny as the death-row inmate Joseph De Rocher, soprano Latonia Moore as Sister Rose, and legendary mezzo-soprano Susan Graham—who sang Helen Prejean in the opera’s 2000 premiere—as De Rocher’s mother..

In the Quiet and Dark is a cinematic, visceral and lyrical exploration of our last remaining Hemlock Forest told through one woman’s journey to try and save them. This tree, a stalwart foundation species, is under attack by a tiny insect – the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. This is a classic and tragic ecological David and Goliath story. If the Hemlock die off, as scientists are predicting they will within the next three years, it will be cataclysmic for our forests.
We are proud to present In the Quiet and Dark by celebrated local documentary filmmaker Nance Ackerman. Nance has been making images and film around the world for over 30 years. She also composes soundtracks with her partner Jamie Alcorn at their studio, Heartstring Productions in Tupperville in the Annapolis Valley. Nance and Jamie will be present along with local experts who will speak to the state of the forests in Nova Scotia.
Screening, panel discussion and fundraiser for the Hemlock Foundation.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Music Director: GREGORY MUSZKIE
Written by Walton Jones, David Wohl, and Faye Greenberg
presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samual French Inc.
Plot Summary: It’s Christmas Eve, 1943, and the Feddington Players are now broadcasting from a hole-in-the-wall studio in Newark, NJ, and set to present their contemporary “take” on Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. Whether it’s the noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, or the over-the-top theatrics of veteran actor, but radio novice, William St. Claire, this radio show is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show. St. Claire’s escalating foibles and acting missteps propel the show to a simultaneously comedic and heart-wrenching dramatic climax: St. Claire has an on-air breakdown, and begins to connect his own life with that of the classic Dickens tale. In order to “save the show,” the company improvises an ending to Charles Dickens’ classic as a film noir mystery, featuring a hardboiled detective, a femme fatale, and an absurd rescue of Tiny Tim (and the Lindbergh baby) from the clutches of a Hitler-esque villain named Rudolf!
