Join Python superstar Eric Idle and his Spamalot Grammy and Tony Award-winning co-composer John Du Prez and a cast of thousands—well, an audience of thousands, plus the NSO, chorus, soloists, bagpipers, and a sheep—as they tell the tragi-comic story of a man mistaken for the Messiah. This new work for 100 musicians is an attempt to create a new form—the comic oratorio—from the Pythons’ most admired movie. Idle—singing baritone-ish—reprises some of his best-loved roles from this legendary movie that reminds you to “Always Look On the Bright Side of Life”!


Join us an hour before show time for a Pre-Performance Preview on the Old Farmhouse Lawn for lectures and demonstrations that offer insight and interpretation of the evening’s performance.
