FLIGHT
Controller
The Dallas Opera
MARCH 4, 6, 9, 12, 2022
Winspear Opera House| Dallas, Texas, USA
A slice of life story set in the everyday world of an airport terminal. An omniscient air traffic controller watches over a departure lounge bustling with cynical flight attendants, an excitable couple on vacation, a mysterious older woman, and a diplomat and his expectant wife, all of whom must spend the night to wait out a storm. A stateless refugee, stranded indefinitely in the terminal, listens to the passengers’ often entertaining stories while haplessly dodging an immigration officer.

Concert
Cape Symphony

Barnstable Performing Arts Center| Cape Cod, Massachusets, USA
On April 4, 1962, Jennings Butterfield led a fledgling group of amateur musicians along with a person the Cape Cod Standard-Times described as a “young American soprano,” who was the soon-to-be-famous Beverly Sills! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we’re recreating that original 1962 concert, with our trademark touches of imagination and fun.
