Barcarole Synopsis
Loosely taken from Tales of Hoffman: in decadent 1911 Venice, a gambler bets he can seduce the feisty wife of a jealous Mexican, an old fashioned duel follows.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"Barcarole" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
