The Moores School of Music at the University of Houston presents the AMERICAN OPERA FESTIVAL, featuring the opera Tartuffe. Music by Daron Hagen. Music and libretto by Kirke Mecham. Based on the play by Molière.

When you plan to give a somewhat dubious holy man your daughter’s hand, you’d better make sure he isn’t also seducing your wife and robbing you blind. A lively and hilarious look at hypocrisy and greed hiding behind a mask of piety, Molière’s Tartuffe is one of the great classics of the theatre.

This opera version has already had over 100 productions around the world and will delight you with its brio, wit and charm. This production is set in an elegant villa in Monaco in the 1920’s.

David Ward, stage director
Jacob Sustaita, music director

Sung in the original English with English surtitles.

Running in rotating repertory with Amelia.
