Love, liberty, and laughs— a revolutionary comedy for America’s 250th.
Laughter meets revolutionary spirit in BLO’s staging of Donizetti’s glorious comedy. Inspired by the life of Deborah Sampson, the Massachusetts revolutionary who disguised herself as a man to fight for independence, this production transports us to Revolutionary-era Boston, telling a heartfelt tale of love and loyalty to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. With a new English dialogue by Kirsten Greenidge, it’s a patriotic toast to America at 250—and to the rebels who shaped it.
Music by Gaetano Donizetti
Libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, Jean-François Bayard
New English Dialogue by Kirsten Greenidge
Conducted by Kelly Kuo
Directed by John de los Santos
