ALL THE WORLD’S A DRAG

Don thy codpieces, neck ruffs, and farthingales — Shakespeare cometh! Heartbeat Opera, “one of the most agile and dynamic companies on New York’s indie opera scene” (Opera News) proudly presents its fourth annual Drag Extravaganza for two nights of divalicious coloraturas, eye-popping fashion, and Halloween revelries. Praised as “radical” and “fiery” by The New Yorker, Heartbeat brings opera into the twenty-first century – creating new adaptations and orchestrations and designing visceral encounters between artists and audiences. Join us in your best Elizabethan finery and watch Shakespeare himself discover the genius of Verdi, Purcell, Bernstein, and more. “Some are born fab, some achieve fabulous, and some have fabulous thrust upon them!”
