About the Event

Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore or The Three Sundays of a Poet, a “madrigal fable,” is based on the 16th-century Italian madrigal comedy genre. It consists of a prologue and 12 madrigals which tell a continuous story, interspersed with six instrumental interludes. The story is told by the chorus and acted by dancers. It premiered in Washington D.C. in 1956 followed by the New York City Ballet premiere in 1957.

With contemporary choreography and instrumentation, our production of The Unicorn celebrates a dynamic blend of “old and new” to bring fresh interpretations of the music of these theatrical works to contemporary audiences.
