Love… Lust… Mistaken Identity… and a Fateful Glass of Water.

Parents caught in a bad economy resort to deception to maintain respectability. Will their ruse spoil their daughters’ chances of happiness in love? The answer comes down to a single glass of water in Arabella, a sumptuous romantic comedy with an element of social commentary, as Richard Strauss returns to the Crosby Theatre after an absence of five years. Arabella charms with Strauss’ deft characterizations and soaring vocal lines — especially soprano voices. Erin Wall, who sang the four heroines in the 2010 Tales of Hoffmann and Daphne in 2007, sings the title role, with Heidi Stober as her sister Zdenka. Sir Andrew Davis conducts. Tickets & Information
