The passionate world of opera comes to life in Philadelphia Theatre Company's world premiere of Terrence McNally's Golden Age. Final performance is slated for February 14.

The world premier of Terrence McNally's Golden Age at the Philadelphia Theatre Company is not to be missed. The playwright's personal love of the medium shines through brightly in his newest work. The play takes place on January 24, 1835 backstage at the Italien Opera House in Paris and centers on the composer Vincenzo Bellini at the premier of his I Puritani. This is the third play McNally has written about opera, mixing both historical facts and imagined interactions. While the play lasts almost the length of the opera itself it does not feel tedious but rather allows the audience to truly understand Bellini's emotional state.
