A powerful and deeply moving historic snapshot, Fellow Travelers is set amidst the Lavender Scare of midcentury McCarthyism, when persecution of LGBTQ+ people within the Federal government was rampant. This modern lyric opera is about the bravery it takes to be one’s authentic self, even when society demands secrecy and silence.

Premiered by Cincinnati Opera on June 17, 2016, at the Jason-Kaplan Theater, Aronoff Center for the Arts, Cincinnati.

Based on the novel by Thomas Mallon
