The Angel's Share

mɔɹnɪŋ (the phonetic spelling for the word "morning" as well as the word "mourning") is an operatic masterpiece by singer and composer Gelsey Bell, which begins just after humanity has disappeared entirely from the Earth, and traces the weeks, months, years, and millennia that follow. What emerges is a journey through time that is simultaneously whimsical, fantastical, playful and profound, offering a poignant reminder of what it means to be human – despite taking place entirely after our species has vanished from the planet. This specially-adapted production of this critically-acclaimed opera was created just for the Catacombs.

Award-winning composer Dave Malloy calls his genre-defying Ghost Quartet "a song cycle about love, death, and whiskey," which is basically the entire artistic ethos of the Angel’s Share series! For the show's 10th anniversary, Malloy reunites with co-creators Brent Arnold, Brittain Ashford, and Gelsey Bell (whose opera morning//mourning graced the Catacombs last September).

We return to the Catacombs for another exploration of Beethoven’s late string quartets. We invite you to join us for an unforgettable event as the Ariel Quartet performs String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 131.
