The Forgotten Opera Company presents its production of Kirke Mechem's comic opera Tartuffe as part of the 2008 Capital Fringe Festival. Based on the classic farce of Moliere, the opera sets an original English-language libretto written by the composer to music described at its 1980 premiere as "inspired, handsomely suited to the purpose and wildly effective at every turn" (San Francisco Chronicle). We've set the action in the American South in the first half of the 20th century. Click here to read more about that process.

Here are a few photos from performances of the opera last November & December. And please check out our blog!
