LOVE, TREACHERY, MURDER, AND CONFRONTATION BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.....

Commonwealth Lyric Theater (winner of several National Opera Association Opera Awards,
praised by The Boston Globe, Boston Musical Intelligencer, and New York Arts Magazine) presents the Boston premiere of this 19th-century Russian operatic masterpiece.

A romantic drama, based on a poem by Mikhail Lermontov, Rubinstein's The Demon portrays a protagonist who dwells in isolation, weary with the weight of immortality. Rubinstein, a teacher of Tchaikovsky, wrote twenty operas during his lifetime, toured the U.S. as a pianist under the auspices of Steinway & Sons, and founded the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His works remain a staple in standard Russian repertoire, although they are more rarely heard in the U.S.

The production features a chamber orchestra, chorus, and international cast of renowned singers and designers.

Set and Costume Designer, Anastasia Grigoreva (Moscow)
