As we are all going through these troubled times together, dealing with great losses in the arts because of COVID-19, we at Royal Road would like to share this message of hope from Brecht and Eisler in their song, "A Saying for 1939." Until such time when live performances can happen again, we hope this clip will bring you solace.

We are excited about the great success of the premiere of On Hollywood and Weimar, the brand new show from Royal Road Productions, Inc. On June 6th, 2019, Off-Broadway's York Theatre hosted the presentation, starring soprano Karyn Levitt and pianist Jed Distler. The 75-minute program features the songs of European composers from the Golden Age of Film curated by Ms. Levitt who also wrote the narration. She was warmly received by the sold-out house. The show was dedicated to the honor and memory of Royal Road's late Music Director, Glen Roven.
