THE GIACOMO VARIATIONS
MAY 30 - JUNE 2
JOHN MALKOVICH (Dangerous Liaisons, Burn After Reading, The Infernal Comedy) returns as Casanova in the US Premiere of THE GIACOMO VARIATIONS, directed by Michael Sturminger. Portraying the master seducer in his twilight years, Malkovich and co-star Ingeborga Dapkünaité perform scenes from Casanova's 1790 memoir, Histoire de ma vie. As Casanova reminisces about one of his close friends, Mozart's librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, we hear excerpts from some of Mozart's best-known operas – Cosí fan tutte, Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro – performed live by soloists of the Vienna Staatsoper and the Wiener Academy Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Martin Haselböck.
ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY
JUNE 6 - JUNE 9
Israel's acclaimed GESHER THEATRE returns to New York after sensational multiple appearances at the Lincoln Center Festival with the US Premiere of ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY, based on a novel by Nobel Prize-winning author, Isaac Bashevis Singer. Enemies, a dark comedy enriched with despair. Almost before he knows it, Holocaust survivor Herman Broder has three wives: Yadwiga, a gentile who hid Broder from the Nazis; Masha, his beautiful, neurotic true love; and Tamara, his first wife, miraculously back from the dead. Resigned to a life of evasion, Herman navigates a 1940s Yiddish New York with a sense of impending doom. Тhe play is performed in Hebrew, with an individual in-ear translation to English and/or Russian.
