The King’s Man, my latest operatic collaboration with Paul Moravec, opens tonight in Louisville. The final dress rehearsal went well, and though I’ve now done this often enough not to get cocky, we’re not expecting any horrendous problems. Paul and I are both pleased with the piece itself, and we’re delighted with Kentucky Opera‘s production. That’s all a librettist can hope for.
In honor of the great day, I offer you my official fingers-crossed video, which I’ve posted on the mornings of the opening nights of all of my previous works for the stage. May it serve us equally well this time around:
