The Washington Post calls FATAL SONG "an evening of wit and artistry, good humor, and gorgeous music..."

Imagine

Antonia, from Talesof Hoffman, "dies on a trill."

Mimi and Violetta have a violent, tubercular coughing fit... "I can't speak, but I can still...sing," says Violetta.

Desdamona enters with a headache, asks the audience for an aspirin, and proceeds to belt out the breathtaking aria from Verdi's Othello.
