The ghost of Benjamin Franklin, the first US Postmaster General, is drawn into a thoroughly contemporary conflict among co-workers in a one-room post office about gay marriage, free speech, racial and class divides, and democracy itself in a provocative new opera by composer Laura Kaminsky (As One) and poet/librettist Elaine Sexton (Site Specific). Produced by American Opera Projects, THE POST OFFICE marks AOP's return to BAM after 2024's The Climate Opera Project, an evening of 4 operas premiered during Climate Week. THE POST OFFICE features a cast of five singers and piano, and a set designed by Charles Renfro, a partner in the distinguished architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro (architects of The High Line & Lincoln Center re-design). |
