Product Details

Description

In Willa Cather’s story, an enigmatic high school student, on the cusp of maturity and with no outlet for his artistic energies, cultivates the image of a dandy in response to his middle-class surroundings. Through the deft use of post-minimal and Baroque styles, the opera reminds us of our own struggle to cope with what Cather calls ‘the homilies by which the world is run’.
