The Cloak and Dagger Affair | The Music Troupe

Don Perlimplín has taken a young wife. Does Belisa really care for him despite her apparent infidelities? She is smitten by a mysterious stranger in a red cloak seen wandering in the garden. Why does Perlimplín seem not to mind? With music that is a reincarnation of the bel canto style and a production that challenges ideas of love and lust, gender and identity, The Music Troupe presents an opera which is both tragic and surreal. Based on a play by Lorca nothing is quite what it seems in the dysfunctional playboy mansion...
