Washington National Opera Presents: The Crucible

---

March 21, 23, 25, & 27 at 7pm and March 29 at 2pm

Lisner Auditorium 

730 21st St. NW Washington, DC, 20052

Written by American composer Robert Ward, The Crucible is based on Arthur Miller's dramatization of the Salem witch trials of 1692. The work is an allegory for the McCarthyism of the 1950s during which Miller and many American artists and intellectuals were falsely accused of being communists.  

As noted on the WNO website, “Truth and lies are forged in fire…..When everything is at stake what is the cost of truth - and who plays the price?”

Performances had been scheduled for the Opera House at the Kennedy Center but will now take place at the Lisner Auditorium.
