A Streetcar Named Desire

By Andre Previn

In the sweltering summer heat of New Orleans, Blanche DuBois arrives seeking refuge — but what awaits is more volatile than she could have ever imagined. Forced to move in with her sister Stella and her domineering husband Stanley, Blanche clings to fading dreams of romance and southern gentility. Hope flickers briefly when Blanche sets her sights on Stanley’s friend Mitch. But when Stanley shatters that hope with brutal force, Blanche’s grip on reality begins to unravel and desire turns destructive. With a searing, emotionally charged score, this operatic adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ famed play will leave audiences stunned and shaken.
