The Consul (music & libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti) Frost Opera Theater Jeffrey Buchman, stage director & program director Diego Hernandez conductor Jenny Snyder, music director November 12 & 13 at 7:30 pm Clarke Recital Hall Gian Carlo Menotti’s Pulitzer Prize-winning opera The Consul remains as gripping and relevant today as it was at its 1950 premiere. This emotionally charged production underscores the opera’s themes of bureaucratic indifference, personal sacrifice, and a desperate search for freedom. Having had a Broadway run of 269 performances, The Consul is not only a compelling "musical drama", as Menotti called it—it is also a powerful reminder of the human cost of getting caught in the unrelenting grind of red tape and apathy. Prepare to be deeply moved by characters struggling to maintain their humanity in a system that reduces them to mere paperwork.
