Paul’s Case is a beautiful and searing opera based on the short story of the same name by Willa Cather.
Paul feels trapped in Pittsburgh, where his father wants him to go into business. He runs away to New York and puts himself up in style, but his freedom is short-lived. Music by Gregory Spears, libretto by Gregory Spears and Kathryn Walat.
The reviews are in, and the critics are unanimous! The Wall Street Journal calls UrbanArias’ production of Paul’s Case “haunting” and “powerful”; the Washington Post praises the cast as “a rich group of voices”; DCMetroTheaterArts calls Paul’s Case a “must-see.”
