Twenty-five years after the world premiere of Harvey Milk, a new version returns to San Francisco presented by Opera Parallele May 15 through 17 as part of its 10th anniversary season. Horizons Foundation is the lead Presenting Sponsor. Working with the creative team led by conductor Nicole Paiement and Creative Director Brian Staufenbiel, composer Stewart Wallace and librettist Michael Korie have radically reimagined the score with an emphasis on its mythic elements as a celebration of Harvey Milk's life. The performances will be given within a week of what would have been Harvey Milk's 90th birthday.
This new re-visioning of Harvey Milk is streamlined, taut and visceral. Michael Korie's libretto now unfolds in two very direct, swift-moving acts, capturing the energy and self-determination of Harvey Milk as he transforms himself from Wall Street stockbroker to an influential civil rights leader. This truly San Francisco story is a timely and potent call to action as it evokes the power of Milk's activism and challenges us to come out for justice.
