I am now intrigued by the synopsis and explanation given here! I’m very excited to be seeing this in November! Traveling to LA from Georgia, because one of my dearest friends is in the chorus and wants me to come witness this story.

I cannot wait to see this. Totally agree opera could not be a better place for these types of stories!
