June 23-26 - Five World Premieres!

Lone Star Lyric's 5th season celebrates the "Grimm" side of fairy tales with four chamber operas and a Broadway-style musical. All are new works by American composers based on unsweetened tales from the Brothers Grimm. Performed by a cast of Houston's best singers and actors, pairs of fairy tales will be presented in repertory style over the four-day Festival period. An operatic prologue introduced each pair. Step into our storybook and be transported to a strange world where unlikely heroes and ditsy damsels live happily ever after ... sometimes ... if they're lucky.    

        

Simply Grimm Prologue - Music, Book & Lyrics by Omari Tau - A very short "opera" in which four eager, if befuddled, lecturers attempt to prepare the audience for the evening's performance.  June 23, 24, 25, 26.

What Your Parents Don't Want You to Know... - Book & Lyrics by Aaron Loeb, Music by Kurt Erickson - Cinderella didn't have a fairy godmother.  She just had a magic bird, a really lousy stepmother and shockingly poor decision-making skills.  June 23, 25.

Clever Gretel - Music, Book and Lyrics by Michael Remson - Aided by an over-sized bird and a few glasses of wine, a sauced-up wench outfoxes her slow-witted master ... all for the sake of a chicken fricassee!  June 23, 25.

The Man Who Studied Fear - Book & Lyrics by Mark LaPierre, Music by Paul L. Johnson -      Twisted humor enlivens this oddly sweet musical about an outcast unable to feel fear who somehow ends up with a princess and a kingdom.  June 24, 26.

Hans in Luck - Music, Book & Lyrics by Omari Tau - Mischievous imps with nothing better to do try to trick dimwitted Hans out of his good luck. But is his luck really good, or just plain bad?  June 24, 26.
