Using the lyrics of Antonín Dvořák’s sublime Moravian Duets as inspiration, the inimitable storyteller Odds Bodkin has crafted an original fairytale, Danika the Rose, which is woven throughout the musical performance of Dvořák’s duets. An unshakable kinship with the natural world, a courageous heroine, and love triumphant unite in a melding of story and song for our tumultuous time.
The livestream will take place at 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific. The video will remain available for 72 hours after each performance, subject to the approval of the artists.
