Resonance Works presents Donizetti's "Anna Bolena"
Resonance Works is proud to present Gaetano Donizetti’s gripping tragedy Anna Bolena, May 16 and 18 at the Charity Randall Theatre!
Based on the historical events surrounding the trial and execution of Anne Boleyn, Anna Bolena explores the psychological depth and intertwining fates of Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour as they navigate the whims of the oppressive, murderous King Henry VIII.
While the events that inspired this opera occurred nearly 500 years ago, Anna Bolena feels strikingly modern, an examination of the dangers of being a woman in power, then and today. Exploring themes of dignity, injustice, and sacrifice, Anna Bolena brings new perspective to an old story, giving voice to two silenced queens.
Starring Katy Lindhart as Anne Boleyn, Tahanee Aluwihare as Jane Seymour, Dane Suarez as Lord Percy, Jason Zacher as Henry VIII, Benjamin Sieverding as Lord Rochefort, and Sarah Austin as Smeton.
Experience this story like never before—performed for the first time in Pittsburgh in 25 years!
