Dive beneath the surface of a decade of political chaos and uncover a riveting tale of principle versus power. In For Love of Country, meet an aging American patriot, his cunning spokesperson, and a mysterious Russian "graduate student." Join them on an epic journey across land, sea, and a rally ground, filled with desperation, victory, and betrayal as they plot against enemies and each other. Whose principles will triumph? Will they survive? And will America emerge unscathed? In a single hour, this three-act modern opera captures the rise of a political movement, and the betrayal that leads to its fall. Set to the backdrop of the house and grounds of Glen Foerd, there will be time before and after the show to mingle and explore.

Glen Foerd draws inspiration from its rich architectural heritage, art collections, historical artifacts, and lush gardens to offer immersive experiences that merge the natural and cultural ecosystems of Philadelphia. This Gilded Age historic house offers a multitude of unique settings for storytelling and atmosphere that can transport audiences through time, and the 18-acre grounds provide a lush and interesting background for a large variety of performances. September 8, 15, and 29 at Glen Foerd (5001 Grant Ave). Learn more at glenfoerd.org.
