Of Mice and Men

Carlisle Floyd transformed John Steinbeck’s Depression-era classic into a work of sweeping musical eloquence and dramatic flair. City Opera brings “a brilliant production” (Opera News) to this enduring American masterpiece.

“Of Mice and Men may be Floyd’s finest score–harmonically gritty, often tenderly lyrical and paced with keen dramatic understanding.” — The New York Times

Anthony Dean Griffey reprises his “unforgettable Lennie.” (New York Observer) “His voice, soaring and intensely expressive, brings mythic stature to the role.” — The New York Times

Sung in English with supertitles
Co-produced with Glimmerglass Opera
