GIAN CARLO MENOTTI'S THE MEDIUM & THE TELEPHONE

In the tragic opera, The Medium, a fake psychic becomes the victim of her own fraudulent voices. In the comic opera, The Telephone, a young woman, distracted by her cell phone, nearly misses out on love.

We will precede the Friday performance with a PRIDE MONTH TALK AT 6:45 p.m. featuring Stratton Rawson and Marty Wimmer, former hosts of Tuesday Night Opera on WNED Classical, and Dr. Robert Strauss, Director of the Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus. The talk will center on Menotti's life, music, and experience as an "out" gay composer in the 20th Century.
