MUSIC AND LYRICS BY STEPHEN SONDHEIM
BOOK BY JAMES LAPINE
Directed by Michael Michetti
Based on the film Passione d’Amore directed by Ettore Scola, after the novel Fosca by I.U. Tarchetti
Passion tells the story of Giorgio, a handsome young army captain in 1860s Italy, who finds himself torn between Clara, his beautiful young lover, and Fosca, the unattractive, sickly woman who challenges his notion of what love is. With an achingly beautiful score, Passion delves into the mystifying tangle of desire, obsession, lust and madness that comprise love.
