Opus is the story of an esteemed string quartet that, days before the most important performance of their careers, fires a member of the group, and must quickly find a replacement. The play explores the shockingly difficult dynamics of a string quartet, and how far people will go to create great art. Based in part of the playwright’s own experience as a violist, as well as the experiences of the world famous Guarneri quartet, the play is infused with the music of Bach, Bartok, and Beethoven, and has been called “vibrant,” “astounding” and “truly remarkable” by critics across the country.
- BEFORE PLAY: Local musician and music scholar Tom Avakian, who works frequently with the Monmouth Symphony Orchestra, will lead Before Play. This pre-show discussion series is scheduled 45 minutes prior to every performance and will explain and celebrate some of the great works of classical music that are heard in the play.
- POST-SHOW DISCUSSIONS are scheduled following the 8 PM performance on Wednesday, November 3, and following the Sunday matinees: November 7 and November 14, at 3 PM, as well as Wednesday, November 10, at 1 PM.
