Dinner At Eight William Bolcom

(LKM Music). Manhattan socialite Millicent Jordan plans a lavish dinner party for visiting English nobility, unaware that her guest list abounds with people linked by business intrigues and romantic entanglements. In adapting the witty and biting depression-era play by Kaufman and Ferber, Pulitzer Prize- and Grammy-Award winning composer William Bolcom ( A View from the Bridge, A Wedding ) and renowned librettist Mark Campbell ( Silent Night, The Shining ), have created a winning opera that successfully weds American musical comedy and opera.
