Description:

2019 GRAMMY-nominated live performance is now available on long-awaited DVDFrom one of America's most sought-after composers of recent years, Jake Heggie's new opera The Great Scott, based on a story by one of the most popular playwrights of our time, Terrence McNally, commissioned by Dallas Opera and co-produced by San Diego Opera (stage director is Jack O'Brien), will be performed live by the Dallas Opera at the San Diego Opera Theatre. The story is by the talented, but not yet accomplished, composer Jake Heggie. The story is about a talented but financially struggling opera house and, conversely, a thriving professional soccer team. It is set in such a large American city. International opera star Arden Scott returns home and rises to the occasion to save the American opera house that launched her career. But the opening day of the opera house coincides with the opening day of the national championships that the soccer team is competing in... The production premiered in 2015 with great success, featuring world-renowned mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato in the lead role; its live CD, released in 2018, was nominated for a Grammy Award, Contemporary Classical category.The live video is now available on DVD.
