SYNOPSIS

​

A charming, successful entrepreneur--the type who transforms cities through development, disruption, and gentrification--finds himself bored in his moneyed bubble. When he meets a gender-fluid downtown cabaret owner who prioritizes passion, pleasure, and freedom, he falls hard for them. Gilded: An Opera explores the eras-old conflict between systemic economic forces, and the impact of those forces on our most personal and intimate relationships. 

 

Inspired by gentrification, S/M, and the wandering Leider of the Romantic era, Gilded marks the first operatic collaboration between Tucker Fuller and Megan Levad. Gilded’s sexy, current story is told by a women’s trio, a chamber orchestra., and tenors in each of the romantic leads: rapacious entrepreneur, and ferocious artist.
