Passion

Passion, the intensely emotional one-act opera by Stephen Sondheim (music) and James Lapine (book), deals with a man’s relationship with two women. The show begins in 19th century Milan as Giorgio, a young military officer, is in the midst of an affair with the pretty Clara. When he is transferred to a remote provincial outpost, his commanding officer’s willfull and sickly cousin becomes obsessed with him. The two women force Giorgio to explore his own deepest feelings and fears.
