STREET SCENE with Central City Opera

Cherry plays the role of Olga Olsen in Central City Opera’s summer 2024 production of STREET SCENE. The production is directed and choreographed by Daniel Pelzig and conducted by Adam Turner.

Taking place over two hot summer days in New York City, Kurt Weill’s two-act American opera STREET SCENE delves into the lives of the multi-ethnic residents of a tenement building, showcasing their hopes, dreams, and struggles. Throughout the story, musical numbers range from operatic arias to jazz and blues, reflecting the mix of cultures and emotions present in the tenement setting. Street Scene offers a commentary on the challenges immigrants face, the impact of poverty, and the complexities of love and relationships in a densely populated urban environment.
