Lady in the Dark

The Bronx Opera Company offers a rare staging of Kurt Weill, Ira Gershin and Moss Hart's high-concept 1941 musical about a successful lady fashion editor in psychoanalysis. "My Ship," "This Is New," "The Saga of Jenny" and the rapid-fire comic list song "Tschaikowsky (and Other Russians)" are among the score's highlights. Company founder Michael Spierman wields the baton at most performances, as he has since 1967; Eric Lamp and Benjamin Spierman direct the production, which alternatingly stars Elizabeth Treat (January 28, February 5) and Perri di Christina (January 29, February 4).
