Old Maid and the Thief

The Old Maid and the Thief  by Gian Carlo Menotti is a witty and satirical one-act opera that explores morality, temptation, and the allure of the forbidden. 


Set in a small town, the story centers on two seemingly respectable women—Miss Todd, played by Veronica Siebert, and her maid Letitia, played by Viviana Goodwin—whose curiosity and hunger for excitement lead them into increasingly questionable behavior when they harbor a handsome drifter, Bob, played by Chandler Benn. 


As gossip spreads, the town busybody Miss Pinkerton, played by Anneliese Klenetsky, fuels suspicion and intrigue. What follows is a comedic unraveling that cleverly suggests it is often those who appear most proper who are quickest to abandon their principles.
