Sasha Cooke as Queen Guinevere; Norman Garrett as King Arthur; Matthew White as Lancelot.
King Arthur, featuring baritone Norman Garrett and mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke in an original staging by Princess Grace award-winner Louisa Proske, will run for four performances on July 25, 28 and 30 and August 1 at Bard SummerScape. The performance will be anchored by the American Symphony Orchestra and Bard Festival Chorale under the leadership of festival founder and co-artistic director Leon Botstein.
In light of recent New York State guidance, these performances will now take place before full-capacity audiences in the Frank Gehry-designed Fisher Center on Bard’s Hudson Valley campus in Annandale-on-Hudson. The July 25 performance will also be livestreamed with an encore virtual presentation on July 28.
