Opera Santa Barbara Presents
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
by André Previn
Based on Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize winning play, André Previn’s A Streetcar Named Desire reigns as one of the great American operas. The opera tells the story of Blanche DuBois, a fading though still attractive Southern belle whose poise is a persona she presents to shield others (but most of all herself) from her delusions of grandeur. Moving into her sister’s cramped apartment, and creating all the wrong kinds of sparks with her crude brother-in-law, the dark truths about Blanche’s past begins to emerge, and her world comes apart at the seams in a spiral of violence and madness. André Previn’s jazz-inflected score evokes a highly charged New Orleans setting, creating the perfect tension for this operatic drama.
