Don't miss the West Coast Premiere of this exciting new murder mystery by Evan Snyder and John Riesen. Featuring an all star cast alongside members of the La...

A murderously clever whodunnit inspired by the tradition of Sherlock Holmes, this operatic detective tale is based on an original story conceived by the composer Evan L. Snyder and John Riesen, a tenor who will reprise the starring role of Daniel that he created in the work’s premiere.

Daniel is a famed 1930’s private eye who, with help from his partner Doyle and fiancée Angelica, works to unravel a series of grisly murders occurring on New Year’s Eve. As tensions rise and the clock runs out, the bonds of friendship are tested against the dark ordeals of an imperceptible murderer. Tuneful plot complications and soaring voices are underscored by harmonically evil intent. Can these singing detectives figure things out before the unknown murderer is able to realize the full scope of his perverse aims? Someone may not be who they seem to be, but will you suss it out before the plot reveals all?

A Capacity for Evil by Snyder, E. L., From (2023/2023), Directed by Linda Lister,, Conductor Joshua Horsch
