Ted Sperling, Artistic Director of MasterVoices, announced details of the acclaimed ensemble's 77th season, celebrating the power of the human voice to unite, inspire and connect since 1941. The upcoming season will be framed by two major musical events, the New York premiere of a multi-media version of Handel's oratorioIsrael in Egypt performed at Carnegie Hall, and a new adaptation of the Kurt Weill-Ira Gershwin-Moss Hart avant-garde musical, Lady in the Dark, starring Victoria Clark at New York City Center. Lady in the Dark has not been seen in New York since it was presented at New York City Center in 1994 as part of the inaugural Encores! season.

Highlights include a talk on Jewish Refugees in 1938 East-Central Europe, a look at the transformation of the Strashun Library, the true story of a panther who escaped from the Bronx Zoo, and music from Jewish Austrian emigres who moved to New York City.

The Spotlighters brings George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's comedy, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER. to their intimate stage just in time for the holidays.
