Justin Vivian Bond and Anthony Roth Costanzo: Only an Octave Apart

Caustic wit, witchy charisma and subversive queer wisdom have made Justin Vivian Bond one of New York’s essential performers: part den parent, part cultural assassin, part offhand Cassandra. In this two-week theatrical concert run at St. Ann's Warehouse, Bond teams up with star countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo—who memorably played Pharaoh Amenhotep IV in Phillip Glass's Akhnaten at the Met—for a trans-genre night that explores the queer histories and futures of opera, pop music and cabaret. The set list runs from “Dido’s Lament” to Dido’s “White Flag” and from Akhnaten to “Walk Like an Egyptian.”
