🎻 A soldier. A violin. A deal with the Devil.
BridgeMusik opens its 2026 Summer Festival — We the Music: Celebrating 250 Years of American Voices — with a bold, fully staged production of Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale, paired with the world premiere of Dedication to Faust by Thomas Cabaniss.
Blending music, theater, and dance, this visually compelling theatrical production reimagines Stravinsky’s iconic work for contemporary audiences. The Soldier’s Tale tells the story of a soldier who trades his violin to the Devil in exchange for wealth, exploring timeless themes of temptation, fate, and the true cost of ambition.
Directed by Malena Dayen and conducted by David Rosenmeyer, the production features the BridgeMusik Festival Ensemble together with an outstanding cast of New York theater and dance artists:
🎭 Danny Bryck — The Soldier 
🎭 Alok Tewari — The Devil 
🎭 Mary Neufeld — Narrator 
🎭 JoVonna Parks — The Princess / Dancer
The program also includes the world premiere of Dedication to Faust by acclaimed composer Thomas Cabaniss, written especially for the festival.
