PHOTO CALL: Sheik and Sater's The Nightingale, With Michael Esper, Harriet Harris, Michael Cerveris, at Powerhouse

The piece by Sater and Sheik's is described as a "compelling contemporary musical rendering of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale of a young emperor who finds his heart in the song of a small grey bird – and in the soul of a common servant girl - far beyond the walls of the Forbidden City."
