Pacific Opera Theatre Presents Menotti's The Medium

Overview

University of the Pacific's Conservatory of Music presents a Pacific Opera Theatre's production of Gian Carlo Menotti's "The Medium." The main feature will be preceded by Samuel Barber's “A Hand of Bridge”—possibly the shortest one-act opera that is regularly performed (about nine minutes long).

Menotti’s “The Medium” tells the story of a fraudulent fortune teller Madame Flora who begins to believe that the spirits she claims to contact are actually real, causing her to spiral into confusion and madness.
