A Streetcar Named Desire
Composer:André Previn
Librettist:Philip Littell
Synopsis
Based on Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 play, set in New Orleans. Blanche DuBois, a fragile, aging southern beauty concealing an unsavory past behind an aristocratic facade, meets her downfall at the hands of her crudely-sensual brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski.
