The Rake's Progress (2009)

Music by Igor Stravinsky
Libretto by W.H. Auden & Chester Kallman

Dunster House • Cambridge, Massachusetts

Though the undertaking was an ambitious choice—the unorthodox rhythmic and harmonic elements of the music are particularly difficult—the company achieved a level of artistry not often seen within the realm of collegiate opera.
— The Harvard Crimson
