Ìý‘Murder on the Titanic’ features music by Danish composer Matias VestergÃ¥rd set to a libretto by Lea Marie Løppenthin.

While the cast centers undergraduate and graduate students from NPU’s Voice program, singers and instrumentalists from the wider North Park community fill out the roster, including a local high school student, North Park alumni and faculty, and professional singers.

Ìý‘Murder on the Titanic’ sinks all rules of narrative by bringing together a shipful of characters: some real, some fictional, some who weren’t even on the Titanic, and many of whom lived at different times from one another.Ìý The result is a fever dream of Americana filtered through a Scandinavian lens.Ìý

Pre-show lecture scheduled just before the performance at 1:30 PM.
