Legendarily flamboyant Oscar Wilde was the toast of the literary
world—until a scandalous love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas ruined his
reputation and devastated his private life. For one of history’s
greatest wits, it was a dark counterpoint to a life earmarked by
fearless humor and equally intrepid passion. In this beautifully tragic
tale of self-expression and individual freedom, countertenor David
Daniels electrifies with what The New York Times called a “Wildean mix
of arrogance and vulnerability.” Philadelphia favorite William Burden
and soprano Heidi Stober, in her company debut, costar as Oscar's loyal
friends. Chronicling his trial and subsequent incarceration over “the
love that dares not speak its name,” Oscar marries one of literature's
most daring voices with one of music’s most singular. The result is
unforgettable.
