The Gift of the Magi - Tulane University Dixon Hall (2022)
Music by David Conte and libretto by Nicholas Giardini
Directed by Professor Amy Pfrimmer
Lighting Design by Marty Sachs
Adapted from the classic O'Henry story, this opera centers around the themes of love and sacrifice. The setting is a quaint New York apartment at the turn of the century on Christmas Eve. Being that it is one of the most magical nights of the year, the celestial moon and stars find their way into the warm home of Della and Jim through the airy etherial walls, much like the wise lesson of the magi, which finds its way into their hearts.
