[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Shelley Cooper created and stars in Jenny Lind Presents P.T. Barnum, a one-woman opera show at Whitefire Theatre’s Solofest on February 3.
When Jenny Lind came to America, to tour with “The Greatest Showman,” P.T. Barnum, she witnessed a nation torn apart over slavery. She embarked on a headline-grabbing tour that shared the spotlight with a political maelstrom. This one-woman opera show, fact checks The Greatest Showman, and the real reason Jenny Lind (also known as the “Swedish Nightingale”) quit the tour. Jenny Lind was uncomfortable with Barnum’s relentless marketing of her and his questionable moral compass, or lack there of. Eavesdrop on Jenny’s final, brave confrontation of P.T. Barnum and enjoy some operatic gems from Jenny Lind’s concert tour.
