Our American Cousin Fully-staged premiere performances of a new Lincoln opera. Warmly received in its concert premiere last season, Our American Cousin views the events surrounding Lincoln’s assassination at Ford’s Theater through the eyes of those who were there. We hear from the well-known actors who graced the stage that night, from President and Mrs. Lincoln in their box, and from the audience who came that night to exchange war for comic hijinks. We are privy to backstage intrigues and to the efforts of theater manager Laura Keene to create a sanctuary of art in the midst of violence. The aftermath of this incomplete evening of theater remains with us as part of our unresolved national history. This engaging and approachable opera, created by Amherst College faculty composer Eric Sawyer and librettist John Shoptaw, and will be sung by some of New England’s most exciting young vocalists. The stellar Boston Modern Orchestra Project will be led by Gil Rose, with stage direction by Opera Boston General Director Carole Charnow.
