The Robert L.B. Tobin Director-Designer Prize-winner: Fellow Travelers

Gregory Spears and Greg Pierce’s 2016 opera Fellow Travelers, set during the “Lavender Scare” in 1950s Washington, D.C., centers on two gay government workers who pursue a love affair amid the specter of political persecution. The story’s connection to present-day queer issues inspired a winning team of the 2023 Robert L.B. Tobin Director-Designer Prize, whose production concept for Fellow Travelers is on view at the National Opera Center through the spring.
