Andre Previn: A Streetcar Named Desire (Vocal Score)

Conductor, composer and pianist, André Previn continues to redefine the possibilities in his extraordinary career, already one of the most distinguished musicians of our time.

This wonderful opera in three acts is based on the famous play by Tennessee Williams and, with the libretto by Philip Littell, Previn has beautifully created music which truly evokes a sense of place and setting, and reflects the fragility, violence and passions of the characters.

Available here is the piano/vocal score of Previn’s marvelous work, which was commissioned by San Francisco Opera, and premiered on 19th September 1998.
