CMU alumnus turns Steinbeck's 'Grapes' into wine with Pittsburgh Opera

Post Gazette: "'It is very subtly and sensitively done,' says Pittsburgh Opera general director Christopher Hahn. 'It is very moving.' Gordon was worried from the beginning that he would incur the nation's wrath if he failed, but in fact, the Steinbeck Foundation has praised his treatment of the novel."

This is a very interesting opera, and having seen the dress on Thursday before reading this, I ws impressed then. Though getting some more background as well as insights into the composer's feelings about the piece made it much more interesting looking back.
