Based on Alan Paton’s novel “Cry, the Beloved Country,” Kurt Weill’s musical
tragedy set in apartheid South Africa follows two fathers’ journey of loss and grief, and finds
hope in the most unlikely of places. Internationally celebrated bass-baritone, Carl DuPont performs the lead role of Rev. Stephen Kumalo, and soprano Ruth Acheampong, the 2022 second prize winner of the prestigious Lotte Lenya Competition, is featured in the dramatic role of Irina.
