A Time for Singing

A Time for Singing

Gerald Freedman, John Morris, Richard Llewellyn

Overview

A lost treasure from the 1960s, A Time For Singing is based on How Green Was My Valley, Richard Llewellyn's classic novel of a Welsh mining village. Librettist Gerald Freedman and Oscar-nominated composer John Morris weave a spirited and sentimental tale of the Morgan family and their struggles of love and labor at the turn of a century. Excellent for a large ensemble cast, A Time For Singing asks, "Do we ever know what we have, till we no longer have it?"
