Fellow Travelers

Composed by Gregory Spears

Libretto by Greg Pierce

Based on the novel by Thomas Mallon

Overview

A powerful and deeply moving historic snapshot, Fellow Travelers is set amidst the Lavender Scare of midcentury McCarthyism, when persecution of LGBTQ+ people within the Federal government was rampant. This modern lyric opera is about the bravery it takes to be one’s authentic self, even when society demands secrecy and silence.  

 

With the Portland Opera Orchestra

 

Developed and co-commissioned by G. Sterling Zinsmeyer and Cincinnati Opera.

Premiered by Cincinnati Opera on June 17, 2016, at the Jason-Kaplan Theater, Aronoff Center for the Arts, Cincinnati.
