Opera Columbus is set to present “Fellow Travelers.”

The Gregory Spears and Greg Pierce opera is set to open on Feb. 25 with an additional showcase scheduled for Feb. 27, 2022.

The opera will star Brian Vu, Carl DuPont, Meghan Kasanders, Calvin Griffin, Tommy McIntyre, Justin T. Swain, Victoria Okafor, Miguel Pedroza, and Adia Evans. Kelly Kuo will conduct the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra with Bruno Baker directing the revival.

“We look forward to presenting a contemporary operatic work for our opera fans on the heels of a very successful naturalistic opera, Tosca. ‘Fellow Travelers’ is one of the very best of the New American Opera, some say naturalistic itself, and was developed right here in Ohio. It is an honor to be able to present it as part of our 40^th Anniversary season, as we are celebrating not only our history in Columbus but also opera history in our state,” said Julia Noulin-Mérat, General Director + CEO of Opera Columbus, in an official press statement. “Its powerful storyline of intrigue and political unrest in Washington D.C. follows the lives of two men during a troubling time of America – a story that is not far off from the political landscape of today.”

The opera’s runtime is set for 130 minutes with an intermission.
