Who could have imagined the multifaceted musician Sting – the rock musician and composer who narrated a video and recording of Peter and the Wolf with Claudio Abbado a few years back – playing Robert Schumann on Broadway? Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler, make another foray into the classical music world by portraying Romantic German composer Robert Schumann and his wife, Clara Wieck, for a single night on Broadway. The unique performance of John Caird's "TWIN SPIRITS" at the New Victory Theatre on Monday, March 27 at 7.30 pm is a benefit for Broadway Cares: Equity Fights AIDS.

Versatile actor Jonathan Pryce – a master of dramatic, comedic, and song-and-dance roles – will narrate "Twin Spirits". Pryce recently succeeded John Lithgow in the long-running Broadway hit "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and has been packing them in at the Imperial Theater. 

Presented as a benefit for BC/EFA (Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS), "Twin Spirits" is the brainchild and creation of director, writer and lyricist John Caird, whose Broadway credits include Nicholas Nickleby, Jane Eyre and Les Misérables. Londoners are still talking about the same team's original performance of "Twin Spirits", created as a fund-raiser for the renovation of the Royal Opera House back in 1999.

Music by both Robert and Clara Schumann is an integral part of the evening, so an assembly of first-class performers will be onstage as well. Violinist Joshua Bell – a long-time supporter of BC/EFA's affiliate Classical Action: Performing Arts against AIDS – will be joined by soprano Barbara Bonney, rising star baritone Thomas Meglioranza, cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianists Jeremy Denk and Natasha Paremski (who just won a Gilmore Young Artist Award).

Tickets, with a top price of $1,000 are on sale at the BC/EFA website: www.broadwaycares.org
