Inspired by Natalia Goncharova's hedonistic set and costumes for the
1914 Ballets Russes Le Coq d'Or, a whimsical cautionary fable about a
foolish Czar, Amy Trompetter is designing and directing a new puppet
adaptation, The Golden Cockerel. For this new adaptation, composer
Raphael Mostel is arranging a new score derived from Rimsky-Korsakov's
fantastical final operatic masterpiece, Le Coq d'Or, and Catharine
Nepomnyashchy is creating a new English language version of the original
Golden Cockerel (Zolotoy Petushok), the beloved, final fairy tale in
verse by poet Alexander Pushkin.

Tickets: $5 (students), $10 (others)
