Presented by Solo Opera
August 14 - 16, 2020

Want to escape the craziness of the 2020 presidential election and the frustration of the divide between the left and right? Look no further than Solo Opera's production of Derrick Wang's comedic opera in English, Scalia/Ginsburg. Inspired by the opinions of U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg (liberal) and Antonin Scalia (conservative), the opera highlights their unlikely bi-partisan friendship and mutual love of opera. They disagreed on how to interpret the constitution but were both unwavering in their reverence for the sacredness of it. Filled with witty humor and musical nods to favorite composers, this charming opera is sure to appeal to everyone!

Running Time: approx. 60 minutes, with no intermission

Join Solo Opera for a pre-talk in the Margaret Lesher Theatre one hour prior to each performance.
