A Streetcar Named Desire by Andre Previn

A Streetcar Named Desire by Andre Previn

Presented by Opera Guild, Inc. of Fort Lauderdale at Broward Center for the Performing Arts

“Stella, Stella!”… is first thing that comes to mind when you hear the title A Streetcar Named Desire. Rest assured that André Previn’s operatic adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ famous play will leave you with so much more. Set in New Orleans in the late 1940’s, A Streetcar Named Desire spins a tightening web around three classic characters: Blanche DuBois, a troubled former schoolteacher, her sister, Stella, and Stella’s husband, Stanley. When Blanche leaves her home in a small Mississippi town to move in with the couple, her insecurity, indiscrete sexual behavior, drinking, and the terror of losing her fading Southern belle beauty, creates a cataclysmic scenario that threatens to destroy everyone in its path.  Filled with soaring melodies and an orchestral score that puts you right in the middle of a hot New Orleans Summer, A Streetcar Named Desire is a contemporary verismo masterpiece.

Sung in English with English and Spanish projected translations.
