This year marks the 40th anniversary of longtime San Jose denizen Henry Mollicone’s opera. Based upon a famous poem about a Manhattan urban legend from the 19th century, it’s the story of two love triangles, separated by 100 years and revolving around a cryptic painting on a barroom floor. The entire tale is told in about half an hour—with just three instruments, three singers and a simple barroom set. After the opera, the theater will play clips from “The Face on the Barroom Floor: The Poem, the Place, the Opera” by Lawrence Kraman.
