FLOYD Of Mice & Men
Celebrating the centennial year of one of American opera’s most important composers, Carlisle Floyd, John Steinbeck’s great American novella Of Mice and Men tells the tale of two migrant ranch workers, George and Lennie. They hustle for work when they can, living hand-to-mouth, and dream of owning an acre of land and a shack they can call their own. But George cannot guard Lennie—a childlike giant of a man with a love for soft things—from the bullying of the ranch boss and his flirtatious yet unhappy young wife. Steinbeck’s timeless story becomes a superbly crafted opera of great beauty and power.
This new production is co-produced by Des Moines Metro Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Lyric Opera of Kansas City, and Florida State University.
