8:00pm - Dead Man Walking By Jake Heggie
This opera, based on the impactful book and film interpretation of the same name, is acclaimed composer Jake Heggie’s take on the true story that forever influenced the modern debate on the death penalty in America.
When a New Orleans-based Catholic nun agrees to become pen pals with an inmate convicted of murder on death row, her entire worldview on life, death, forgiveness, and capital punishment is challenged forever.
Heggie will be in residence to work with MMF’s Opera Institute cast to help tell this poignant story featuring a libretto by Tony-award-winning Terrance McNally (Masterclass, Ragtime).
Date: June 27 - July 28, 2024
