Following the successful integration of music composition and performance in last season’s production of Peer Gynt, the various departments of music composition, audiovisual and drama have once again come together to form this spectacular and unique work.

Metamorphoses is a Tony Award winning, charismatic piece that is both warm and dazzling. Based on the Greek mythology of Ovid, Metamorphoses presents a variety of familiar tales including that of Zeus, Midas and Aphrodite. This storytelling delight is heart rendering one minute and hilariously quirky the next and promises an evening of pure entertainment.

"Metamorphoses makes Ovid come to life in delightful, enthralling, humorous, moving, magical theatrical glory. It's that good!" (Culture Vulture.net)
