by Jake Heggie with libretto by Gene ScheerVirginia Operas production of Jake Heggie and Gene Scheers Three Decembers is a two-act chamber opera about familythe ones we are born into, and those we create. Based on Tony Award-winning playwright Terrence McNallys unpublished play, Some Christmas Letters, the story follows Broadway Star Madeline Mitchell as she enters the twilight of her career and life. Madeline, played by Broadway veteran and Tony Award-winner Karen Ziemba (Contact, Curtains, Steel Pier), shares a secret she has kept over three Decembers in 1986, 1996, and 2006.

This new addition to the repertoire grapples with contemporary issues wrapped in timeless music. Sung in English with English surtitles.
