NEC Festival: Opera – Musto "Later the Same Evening"

New York City, 1932: Elaine plays piano while her husband ignores her. Jimmy is over the moon to see his first Broadway show. Estelle prepares for her first date since her husband’s death. 

Figures from five Edward Hopper paintings come to life through intimate vignettes as imagined by John Musto and Mark Campbell in this chamber opera, based on "Room in New York," "Hotel Window," "Hotel Room," "Two on the Aisle," and "Automat.” 

NEC’s Joshua Major is the stage director and Robert Tweten conducts the members of the NEC Philharmonia.
