The Metropolitan Opera and the English National Opera (ENO) will co-produce a world premiere production of composer Nico Muhly's first opera. With a libretto by Craig Lucas, the opera is a fictionalized story based on a true incident in which a teenager attempts to arrange his own murder via the internet.

The story centers around Sarah Goldman, an independent, young, teacher living in Chicago. When her parents, Miriam and Abe, don't approve of her choice of boyfriend because he is a gentile she begrudgingly hires an out-of-work actor, Bob, to portray their idea of an ideal mate - Dr. David Steinberg! The twist comes when it is revealed to Sarah that he isn't Jewish as she had assumed. But it's okay, he's toured with 'Fiddler on the Roof' and is sure he can pull it off. Hilarity ensues in this charming comedy as the the two try to keep the charade going.
