Dead Man Walking: An Opera by Jake Heggie

This opera, based on the impactful book and film interpretation of the same name, is acclaimed composer Jake Heggie’s take on the true story that forever influenced the modern debate on the death penalty in America.  

When a New Orleans-based Catholic nun agrees to become pen pals with an inmate convicted of murder on death row, her entire worldview on life, death, forgiveness, and capital punishment is challenged forever. Heggie’s opera, written by Tony-award-winning Terrance McNally, is a powerful retelling of this poignant true story, taking the audience on an emotional and heartfelt journey through guilt, grief, and redemption.
