Carnegie Hall
57th St & 7th Ave, New York, NY 10019-3210
Two one-act operas with strikingly different reactions to tyranny.

The Dictator (1928) explores the rise of a charismatic fascist leader, based loosely on Mussolini. Day of Peace (1938) remains controversial for its ambiguous sentiments towards the Nazis; it did not meet with favor by the regime.
