The Walnut Hill Voice Department presents the world premier of Desert Journey: An Operatic Fable.

About the Opera:
We are thrilled to be sharing this world premiere written especially for this year’s Voice Majors of Walnut Hill School for the Arts. The story, libretto and music were created by Composer Charles Turner. “Desert Journey: An Operatic Fable” is a modern fairy tale set in a sort of mythical desert, with elements reminiscent of the Wizard of Oz and The Little Prince. The story is of a young traveler who embarks on a solo journey through the desert to revisit an oasis, to honor a beloved uncle who passed away. He had taught her about the world and its wonders through travel and books. On her journey she meets and befriends a hungry, irritable Cobra, a Sphinx whose with an unsolvable riddle; a young Djinn who can only grant one wish, and a Dust Dervish (wind storm) that has been granted a wish for eternal life, but who now must stay in constant motion and is always exhausted. As these unlikely characters find and help one another, they realize that their journey is always better together, and that if you keep going, somewhere, there is an oasis.

The Walnut Hill Theater Department presents Cabaret.

Cabaret is a musical with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff. It is based on the 1951 play I Am a Camera by John Van Druten, which in turn was based on the 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood.
Set in 1929–1930 Berlin during the twilight of the Jazz Age as the Nazis rise to power, the musical focuses on the hedonistic nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub and revolves around American writer Clifford Bradshaw's relations with English cabaret performer Sally Bowles. A subplot involves the doomed romance between German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor. Overseeing the action is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub, and the club itself serves as a metaphor for ominous political developments in late Weimar Germany.

Ticket information coming when available.
