Blue Monday

On Site Opera & Harlem Opera Theater invite you to take a trip back
to the roaring ‘20s as they present George Gershwin’s jazz opera Blue
Monday at the Cotton Club. This 30‐minute jazz opera gem tells the story
of a love triangle gone wrong against the backdrop of a 1920’s Harlem
jazz club. Continuing its mission of producing site-specific
performances, On Site Opera takes up residence at the historic Cotton
Club on Tuesday, June 18 and Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Each evening, the
doors will open at 7pm with an hour of cocktails and dancing before the
opera at 8pm. The dance floor will be open and cocktails will flow as a
prelude to Gershwin's jazz-infused murder romance.
Blue
Monday will be conducted by Gregory Hopkins (Harlem Opera Theater) and
directed by Eric Einhorn (On Site Opera) with choreography by Tony
Award-winner George Faison and costumes by Candida K. Nichols. The
talented African-American cast features Alyson Cambridge, Chase Taylor,
Lawrence Craig, Clayton Mathews and Alvin Crawford. Members of the
Harlem Chamber Players and the Cotton Club All Stars will accompany the
evening.
