The Angel's Share presents Gregg Kallor's Frankenstein and The Tell-Tale Heart in the Green-Wood Cemetery Catacombs
The Angel’s Share will close its first season October 10-12 with an operatic double bill from composer and pianist Gregg Kallor, including the world premiere of his setting of sketches from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (celebrating the 200th anniversary of the book’s publication) – the heartbreaking story of a living, feeling creature, brought into the world only to be forsaken by his creator and left to fend for himself – as well as a reprise of his acclaimed setting of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, The Tell-Tale Heart.
Who Doesn't Love Whiskey Tastings and Classical Music in a Catacomb?
The Angel’s Share, the acclaimed new concert series by Unison Media and The Green-Wood Historic Fund which features opera and chamber music concerts in Green-Wood’s remarkable Catacombs, will continue in August with programs by harpist Bridget Kibbey and twin sister piano duo Christina and Michelle Naughton. The series, which kicked off in June with the world premiere of David Hertzberg’s chamber opera The Rose Elf directed by R. B. Schlather, was praised by The New York Observer as being “everything you want opera to be...[it] shocked, confounded, disturbed, and, in the end, exalted.”
