Ìý‘Murder on the Titanic’ features music by Danish composer Matias VestergÃ¥rd set to a libretto by Lea Marie Løppenthin.
While the cast centers undergraduate and graduate students from NPU’s Voice program, singers and instrumentalists from the wider ²ÝݮӰÊÓ community fill out the roster, including a local high school student, ²ÝݮӰÊÓ alumni and faculty, and professional singers.
Ìý‘Murder on the Titanic’ sinks all rules of narrative by bringing together a shipful of characters: some real, some fictional, some who weren’t even on the Titanic, and many of whom lived at different times from one another.Ìý The result is a fever dream of Americana filtered through a Scandinavian lens.Ìý
Pre-show conversation with the composer is scheduled just before the performance at 1:30 PM.
