Episode Details

A hauntingly beautiful opera adaptation of the beloved novel Fellow Travelers is making its way to San Diego, bringing to life a forbidden romance set against the chilling backdrop of the Lavender Scare. With its original creative team intact—a rarity in opera—and deeply personal performances, this production resonates powerfully, especially for those who’ve found themselves reflected in its pages. The San Diego Opera faces logistical hurdles fitting the grand sets into the historic Balboa Theatre, but the emotional stakes are even higher: the show also supports The Lavender Names Project, honoring real victims of anti-gay discrimination while offering a hopeful vision for the future.
