Paul's Case
Opera in 2 acts
based on the short story "Paul's Case" (1905) by Willa Cather
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’.
