Acquanetta, a musical homage to the campy horror films of the 1940s written by composer Michael Gordon and librettist Deborah Artman, will play Bard SummerScape July 1鈥�21.
The piece is directed by Daniel Fish, whose acclaimed staging of Oklahoma! is transferring to Broadway this year following its debut at Bard in 2015 and a subsequent run at St. Ann's Warehouse last year.
Acquanetta combines theatre, opera, and film to explore the world of a real-life B-movie star with a mysterious past, examining the ways the movie camera manipulates how we see and are seen.
SummerScape productions also include the dance piece Grace and Mercy, from Ronald K. Brown/Evidence (July 5鈥�7) in addition to the Bard Music Festival presentations of Korngold and Vienna (August 9鈥�11) and Korngold in America (August 16鈥�18).
The Spiegeltent returns June 28鈥揂ugust 10 with its eclectic cabaret offerings.
