World Premiere of a New Opera: Gracchus

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

The world premiere of a new opera entitled Gracchus will be presented at the Palace Theatre in Stamford, Connecticut, at 4 p.m., August 19, 2023. 

Gracchus is described as an opera of civic redemption, with Christian allegory, set in second century‒B.C. Rome.

The opera was composed by Mr. David Hughes, the libretto being the work of Rev. Fr. Richard Munkelt. Fr. Munkelt is a diocesan priest in residence at Saint Anthony’s Chapel in West Orange, New Jersey. Mr. Hughes serves as Music Director at Saint Patrick’s Oratory in Waterbury, Connecticut. Both parishes, administered by the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, are dedicated to providing the traditional sacraments to the Catholic faithful. Please consider purchasing tickets to what is sure to be a very special opportunity and supporting the creative work of those who have given so much of their lives to the Latin Mass Community. Tickets can be purchased, and more information found, on their website at gracchusopera.com.
