Synopsis
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Chabon, Bates and Scheer’s opera portrays two cousins in 1940s New York City—a refugee from wartime Prague and a closeted queer Brooklynite—who team up to create The Escapist, a comic book superhero who takes America by storm as he battles the Nazis and frees the oppressed.
