The Filthy Habit

At The Chicago Fringe Festival
Join us as we present the Chicago Fringe Festival's first opera! The Chicago Fringe Festival is a leading theatre festival taking place this September in Jefferson Park.  And we're bringing opera to the stage!

A comic intermezzo in the spirit of Pergolesi's La Serva Padrona, The Filthy Habit updates the story of Wolf-Ferarri's Il Segreto di Susanna for modern times. Set in Manhattan in the summer of 2003, Habit tells the story of a newlywed couple's struggle with Mayor Bloomberg's new smoking ban. Book by Chicago librettist Matt Boresi and a jazz score by Peter Hilliard, accompanied by a close-harmony trio of singers serving as Greek chorus. Habit is an entertaining look at honesty and compromise in relationships.
