ABOUT THE SHOW
OperaHub presents a long-overdue Boston production of Alexander Zemlinsky's Der Zwerg, a heartbreaking tale of love and disillusionment set to a rich, lushly textured score. This new production, brought to life by a dynamic group of young actor/singers and an innovative creative team, highlights the story's relevance with a modern setting and nods to modern culture.
Der Zwerg will be sung in German with projected English translations. The show runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
