[Cliff Roles]

Creepy crawlies. Plague. Pestilence. Composer Judith Weir deftly weaves together a 15th-century story about an evil, venomous spider, and a 1983 newspaper account of a deadly virus that struck
archeologists excavating the tomb of Casimir IV in 1970s Cracow, Poland.
The Black Spider mixes eerie music with toe-tapping rhythms to create a
thrilling operatic horror story.
