Let Them Eat Cake

January 29 & January 30 at 8pm

At Academy of Music

Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

Take your time on the steep stairs inside the historic building.
Check box seats carefully to avoid obstructed views behind pillars.

An American president loses reelection, overthrows the government, and redesigns the White House in George and Ira Gershwin's 1933 dystopian musical farce. Opera Philadelphia stages this rare production at the Academy of Music with Corrado Rovaris conducting.
