Composer Stewart Wallace and librettist Michael Korte created this contemporary opera which tells the dramatic life story of San Francisco's first openly gay supervisor, from his rise to prominence to his assassination in 1978... San Francisco Opera music director and conductor Donald Runnicles edited and reorchestrated the original score for this world premiere recording. Drawn from the vigorous vocabulary of contemporary opera, American popular song and the Broadway musical, this expose of homophobia has all the ingredients of great opera. Available early 1998.
