Three Lost Chords

Three Lost Chords, the acclaimed trio of solo operas, returns to The Zipper. Adapted from three short stories (Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”, Nicolai Gogol’s “A Hunger Artist “and Dame Muriel Spark’s “The Girl I Left Behind Me”) this triptych of musical ghost stories once again features Nathan Lee Graham, Michael Slattery and Caroline Worra, three young stars from the worlds of both modern and classical opera and musical theater. In each musical monologue, the character must confess the strange circumstances that brought them to a place from which they cannot escape: an asylum, a panther’s cage in a traveling circus, and the ominous office of a small company. By turns macabre, humorous, and oddly sensuous, Three Lost Chords propels its characters through the dark twists and turns of their surprising lives . . . and deaths.
