The Old Maid and the Thief

“The Devil couldn’t do what a woman can—make a thief out of an honest man.” Or is it the other way around? An old spinster takes a handsome drifter into her home and her infatuation drives her to perform despicable acts that may be her ruin!

Originally commissioned for radio broadcast by NBC in 1939, Gian Carlo Menotti’s one-act opera in 14 short scenes is entirely in English and was adapted for stage by the composer after its initial success.
