Join us for our long-awaited return to the work of Gian Carlo Menotti. The Consul was written in response to World War II, and yet the story remains untethered in time as it explores how we address humanitarian crises.
Magda and her family are desperate to escape an unsafe country, yet are relentlessly hindered by bureaucratic red tape. When appearing at the consulate to receive help, Magda is met with a chilling, apathetic Secretary who is numb to the stories churning around her. Faced with indifference, Magda delivers a stunning rebuke for the way we treat our fellow humans in need. While Menotti skillfully focuses the story on Magda, he gently lifts a mirror to our society through the rule-abiding Secretary. The Consul challenges us to look inward and ask ourselves, "What would I do?"
