A Journey of Faith
One of the most frequently performed contemporary operas in recent years, Dead Man Walking is the story of a profound spiritual journey taken by a nun and a convicted killer about to face the ultimate sentence. Based on the book by Sister Helen Prejean, the opera delves into the conflict between the act of murder, society’s demand for retribution and redemption, and forgiveness. Dead Man Walking is an unforgettable musical and theatrical tour de force.
Steven Osgood, Conductor | Kristine McIntyre, Director
