PRESS
RELEASE
OPUS
By Michael Hollinger
Directed by Jason W. Gerace,
Associate Artistic Director, ATC
Chicago premiere
opens at Redtwist Theatre on
Saturday, December 10, at
3pm
THE PLAY
Opus
is the uniquely fascinating
story about a world-class string
quartet. The musical ensemble is in
the midst of a bitter clash of wills
between the two leaders of the
group—one the artistic genius, the
other, the business guru. One stays
as the group leader and ousts the
other. The replacement is a young
woman, fresh out of school, and the
evolution of the group takes several
unexpected turns en route to a
riveting conclusion. Featuring a
bedrock of compelling "family"
dynamics, Opus is a gripping
piece of drama punctuated by a
brilliant musical score. It was one
of the most produced plays in the
U.S. in 2009, and Redtwist has the
Chicago premiere.
