Friedrich von Flotow's opera 'Martha,' performed in German but set in England, tells the story of noblewoman Hariett and maid Nancy's adventure to a marketplace where they disguise themselves, becoming Martha and Julia. Romantic entanglements follow as young farmers Lionel and Plunkett fall for them. Featuring the poignant melody of an Irish folk song, 'The Last Rose of Summer,' this opera mixes themes of love, identity, and social class.
