The members of Coastal Carolina University’s Opera Workshop, under the direction of Timothy Koch, conductor, and David Bankston, stage director, will present Gian Carlo Menotti’s darkly comical “The Old Maid and the Thief.” The one-act opera was originally commissioned and composed for NBC radio and premiered in 1939. A huge critical success at its premiere, it has received many theatrical stagings over the years and is still a perennial favorite of opera lovers everywhere.
