Exhibition Series - The Formation of Folly Cove: Coming Together at the Seams
Sat, Jan 14, 2023, 2:00 PM
Umberto Giordano’s exhilarating drama returns to the Met repertory for the first time in 25 years. Packed with memorable melodies, showstopping arias, and explosive confrontations. Join Leon Doucette, CAM Assistant Curator, for a deep dive into the neighborhood’s artistic growth, and the disparate threads that comprise the warp and weft of Folly Cove’s story. The presentation will explore the unexpected role the neighborhood of Magnolia played in bringing a catalytic artist to Folly Cove, and how granite workers (rather than granite) lured in sculptors from across the country.
