Little Women

Mark Adamo, words and music
After the novel by Louisa May Alcott
Casey Robards, music director
Dawn Harris, stage director

This wonderful tale of the four March sisters, about family love, growing older, and being an independent woman has been a classic from its inception in 1868. Mark Adamo's luscious arias bring a musical poignancy to Louisa May Alcott's story that is touching, and his unsettling music brings Jo's struggles with the changing world to life and keeps the audience wondering if she will ever change her mind. Commissioned by the Houston Grand Opera for its Young Artists, Little Women premiered on March 13, 1998.
