Opera Bound
This season, Kentucky Opera’s Education Department launches a new literary campaign. This annual program ties one of the season’s opera productions to its origin in literature.
The Brown-Forman 2009 Fall Season Opera Bound focuses on Carlisle Floyd’s OF MICE AND MEN with its origins in John Steinbeck’s novella. Kentucky Opera, along with participating community and school organizations, provides opportunities for students and adults to experience OF MICE AND MEN through multiple art forms and discussions.
