Highway 1, U.S.A. by William Grant Still, libretto by Verna Arvey

Down in the Valley by Kurt Weill, libretto by Arnold Sundgaard

This unique project is pairing the work of two iconic composers from the middle of the 20th Century. Highway 1, U.S.A. by African American composer William Grant Still, based upon a libretto by his wife Verna Arvey, a daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants. The second one act opera is Down in the Valley by German immigrant Kurt Weill, based upon a libretto by first generation playwright Arnold Sundgaard. Still’s Highway 1, U.S.A. was last performed in NYC in 1977, Down in the Valley will be heard in Weill’s original chamber orchestration.

Presented in association with the Harlem Opera Theater and the National Black Theatre.
