Join us to explore how Carlisle Floyd’s Of Mice and Men fits into the tradition of great American novels adapted for the operatic stage, including The Great Gatsby, Moby Dick, Little Women, and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Floyd’s adaptation reimagines the American landscape through melody and character, translating John Steinbeck’s spare realism into music—where sound and silence shape empathy, morality, and myth.
