There’s nothing quite like a good old-fashioned revival meeting to inspire some rousing singing! Your faith in opera will be affirmed when you heed the call of Elmer Gantry. But there is a price for those who buy into the charm of this ultimate con man. Elmer Gantry was premiered late in 2007 in Nashville to very strong notices. We are proud to continue to bring you the best in new American opera and to be the first university to present this exciting work.

Houston Premiere!

Sung in the original English with English surtitles.

Featuring:
Buck Ross, producer/director
