Hawaii Opera: "Three Decembers"

  • Kauai Community College 3-1901 Kaumualii Hwy Lihue, HI 96766 United States (map)

Composed by Jake Heggie (Moby Dick), Three Decembers is based on a play by Terrence McNally, about Broadway Star, Madeline Mitchell, as she enters the twilight of her career and life. The story unfolds with Madeline, estranged from her children, sharing a secret she has kept, and over three decades hidden truths are revealed as they struggle to find their identities as part of a family and in their lives.

Madeline will be performed by Frederica von Stade, who makes her HOT Debut, in what the Houston Chronicle called “the role of a lifetime” for the opera legend when she created the role in 2008.
