by Mary Lincer - May 07, 2025

Review: THE (R)EVOLUTION OF STEVE JOBS at Kennedy Center
by Roger Catlin - May 05, 2025
It’s not so strange, really, that there’s a serious opera about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. His life’s work is usually invoked before every production of the last decade or more, when audiences are asked to silence their smartphones.
