The Scarf & Bon Appetit
by Lee Hoiby
in partnership with Ensemble CONCEPT 21

In a remote farmhouse kitchen on a snowy February night, Miriam, trapped in a loveless marriage with the oppressive Reuel, finds unexpected passion with a young Postman who seeks shelter from the storm. Miriam weaves a magical red scarf to win his love, recounting her farm childhood by the fire. When he departs, she wishes for his return, but the scarf ends up around Reuel's neck instead. In a frantic struggle, Miriam inadvertently kills Reuel, haunted by her unintended act of violence.

of America's best-loved television personalities.

Puccini Around the World

Puccini, a leading figure in the verismo style, embraced realism, which emerged from the Italian literary scene of 1875-early 1900s. Verismo, meaning 'realism', focused on depicting everyday life and human dramas like illness, lost loves, and marital conflicts, as seen in La bohème. Unlike earlier epics and myths, verismo explored the lives of ordinary people, particularly the poor. Puccini frequently adapted successful plays and novellas for his operas, such as Madam Butterfly, based on a 1898 short story, and Tosca, derived from Victorien Sardou’s 1887 play 'La Tosca'.​
