Description
Music by Mason Bates / Libretto by Mark Campbell June 20 – July 3, 2020 Commissioned by San Francisco Opera, the Santa Fe Opera and Seattle Opera with support from Cal Performances and co-produced with Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. With “one device,” Steve Jobs indisputably changed our world. Yet as he tried to make the world more connected, he struggled to truly connect with the people in his own life — his friends, business partners, and family. Behind all the disruption and the drive for perfection, what did it all mean?
