Gothic Symphony

  • We’re featuring an American opera on this week’s Sunday Opera (3/16 3:00 p.m.) in Lori Laitman’s 2016 treatment of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter” featuring a libretto by David Mason. Hawthorne’s 1850 novel is a moral allegory centering on Hester Prynne’s affair with the Reverend Dimmesdale, the birth of her illegitimate daughter, Pearl, and her strength and determination to make a life for them in the face of hatred and prejudice.
