Fellow Travelers

Based on Thomas Mallon's novel which recently became an acclaimed Showtime miniseries. Timothy Laughlin is an idealistic college grad when he arrives in Washington DC to join the fight against communism. But a chance encounter with a handsome State Department official leads to a secret love affair and heart-wrenching dilemmas. The year is 1953, and Senator McCarthy isn't just looking for communists anymore. Hearing the score Opera Magazine calls "seductively beautiful," you'll be on the edge of your seat for the work the Chicago Tribune calls "one of the most accomplished new American operas."
