America’s greatest epic comes to the stage in a new opera that’s taken audiences and critics by storm. Follow the Joad family as they pursue the American Dream from the Oklahoma Dustbowl to the orchards of California. Obie-winning composer Ricky Ian Gordon and Tony-nominated librettist Michael Korie fuse the traditions of opera and Broadway with blues, Appalachian music, and echoes of Copland and Gershwin.
