REGIONAL PREMIERE
Carlisle Floyd's
OF MICE AND MEN

March 11, 2007
THIS SUNDAY 2:30 PM
KIMMEL CENTER'S INNOVATION STUDIO

The New York Times writes,“Though Carlisle Floyd's 1955 opera Susannah is his most popular work, his 1970 opera Of Mice and Men may be his best. With a libretto by Mr. Floyd based on the Steinbeck novel, it offers his most powerful, sophisticated and effective score.”

Don’t miss your chance to see this beautiful opera in the intimacy of the Innovation Studio. A 1:30 pm pre-performance discussion with Artistic Director Andrew Kurtz and Stage Director Stephen Carr will explore Floyd's setting of this literary classic. Click here for ticket information.
