Through the ghostly presence of John Adams and a modern-day narrator, the birth of the American Revolution is examined through lived human experience. This new opera traces how political ideas move from thought into action and reveals how our deepest human emotions—fear, doubt, and pride—shaped America’s revolutionary awakening.
This performance is a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, and we are thrilled to share this new work with our community.
