MUSIC BY KEVIN DAY
LIBRETTO BY TIFARA BROWN
WITH EACH STEP, LOVE'S BEACON SHALL SHINE BRIGHT.
Set 400 years into the future, Lalovavi (lah-low-VAH-vee) is an Afrofuturist adventure that follows Persephone, the youngest daughter of the ruler of Atlas, the city formerly known as Atlanta. Currency and status in Atlas are determined based on the presence of Syndica, a gene that promotes vitality and longevity. When Persephone is found to possess a version of Syndica that confers immortality, she is betrayed by her family and must run for her life. She is thrust into an epic journey, uncovering a hidden past that leads her to discover love’s true meaning and the power to determine her destiny.
Estimated Run Time: 3 hours with 1 intermission

Opera at USC Tour!
In honor of the USC School of Music’s celebration of 100 years of music at Carolina, Opera at USC is pleased to showcase its unique musical art form statewide with its production, Gianni Schicchi, a comic opera in one act by Giacomo Puccini. Inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, Italian composer Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi depicts the life of a scheming yet ingenious peasant who tries to cash in on an old man changing the will and securing a payoff for his daughter’s wedding. Opera at USC chose to highlight Puccini this season because the legendary composer passed in 1924, the year that the program was founded. Free and open to the public.
