WORLD PREMIERE
Originally conceived as an oratorio by composer Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell, A Nation of Others has been workshopped by this amazing composer/librettist duo in conjunction with the University of Kentucky Opera Theatre to become a fully staged opera. Come listen to the stories of immigrants as they experience their passage through Ellis Island on a single day in 1921. Each has their own reasons for coming to America, but they all share the dream of a new life in a strange new land. Stage direction by Sarah Ina Meyers. Conducted by Everett McCorvey.
Jessica, singing the role of Masha, is appearing as a guest artist with her alma mater as they present this moving and timely work.
Tickets available here. There will be a talkback with the cast after each performance.
