Overview

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.
