An intimate afternoon conversation triggers a searing examination of the past in this tour-de-force written for superstar Frederica von Stade. The story is rich with regional imagery by Horton Foote, the legendary Texas playwright and author.
Houston Grand Opera's fifty second world premiere, A Coffin in Egypt is by composer Ricky Ian Gordon and librettist Leonard Foglia.
