Synopsis | The Righteous is an opera that explores the tension between genuine faith and the fraught world of 1980s politics. Along the way, the characters’ sacred love for God becomes entwined with the complicated realities of their romantic lives. The opera opens with David, a preacher building a church in the American Southwest. He marries into a wealthy oil family and is eventually pressed to run as governor, succeeding his father-in-law Paul. At the same time, he has an affair with Sheila, whose more mystical theology enraptures him, leading them both to crossroads by the end of the decade. |
Roles | JONATHAN — Paul’s son and David’s best friend |
