PASSION IN PIGSKIN: A CABARET OPERA to Play Cornelia Street Cafe
By: Tyler Peterson
In one quick-moving hour and with a memorably melodic score, Passion in Pigskin tells the tragi-comic story of a love triangle between two New York Knights football players, Billy a dashing, cynical running back, Eddie, a sincere slow-witted tackle, and Mary Jo, a sweetly innocent cheerleader.
Composers Michael Lydon and Ellen Mandel are frequent performers at Cornelia Street. These two nights are Passion in Pigskin's second outing at the Cafe, a few days before the Super Bowl. "We wanted to do something our way for the Super Bowl," says Robin Hirsch, the Café's impresario, known for booking a wide variety of singer-songwriters, jazz cats, and poets, "and Passion in Pigskin is perfect-funny, sad, pop, classical."
"Fun to see opera transported into the 21st century with different, but equally tragic subject matter." David Browne, Rolling Stone.
