Step into Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale, a semi-staged collaboration with The Goodman. Costumes, props and evocative lighting help bring to life the Faustian fable of a soldier-fiddler who makes a pact with the devil. Framed by the composer’s Septet and Octet, the program blends theatrical storytelling with dazzling ensemble playing.
New translation by Liz Diamond, after the original French libretto by Charles Ferdinand Ramuz
