The Rake's Progress Stravinsky

Stravinsky neo-classical opera The Rake's Progress tells the story of Tom Rakewell, who, at the behest of Nick Shadow (the Devil), abandons his intended, Anne Trulove, for the dubious delights of the city. Shadow leads him into a variety of scrapes, including a scheme to turn stones into bread, a visit to a brothel, and marriage to a bearded lady. He ends up in Bedlam, the Devil having stolen his reason. The Moral? â€˜For idle hearts and hands and minds the Devil finds work to do.â€™ The tale, loosely based on William Hogarthâ€™s series of pictures, is by W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman.
