Synopsis:

Robert (Eric C. Black) is a playwright grappling with both his absent creativity and wife, Claire (Sarah Philippa), who is away on opera tours and the sole bread winner of the family. On a night of quiet desperation, after Claire and her platonic although overtly flirty friend John (Robert Legge) have returned, thick as thieves, from a tour, Robert finds himself visited by the demonic muses (Daniele Lorio and Tricia Lepofsky) who gifted the great Romantic composer Schumann (Eric Sillers) with both his talents and his madness. The opera, and yes, this is a fully mounted and produced, hour long opera, guides us through Robert's path from fame to his descent into madness. Perhaps most impressively, it achieves all this while remaining fully accessible, entertaining, and poignant.
- Anna Brungart, dctheatrescene
