“Florida’s operatic event of the year.”
-South Florida Classical Review
At the New World Center in 2024, critiques of capitalism and wealth inequality took center stage. Audiences watched as Anna I and Anna II, both played by soprano Danielle de Niese in a tour de force performance, traveled to seven sinful American cities, in search of work.
Stéphane Denève conducted The New World Symphony with masterful design led by projection designer Clyde Scott and costume design by Wilberth Gonzáles, under the direction of Bill Barclay.
Now touring with Concert Theatre Works, Weill and Brecht’s classic opera has been designed to remount with the orchestra onstage.
“Second to none, the NWS featured the versatile Danielle de Niese, who played both singer and dancer, the two Annas, in a deliberately kitsch staging by Bill Barclay. De Niese excelled, mastering every vocal and scenic challenge.
“The Seven Deadly Sins” received an exemplary rendition thanks to a first-class creative team.”
