This performance will showcase selected scenes from Gregory Spear’s opera Fellow Travelers, based on the 2007 novel by Thomas Mallon (and adapted into a mini series in 2023).
Fellow Travelers delves into a secret, gay love affair between Hawkins Fuller and Tim Laughlin in Washington DC during the Lavender Scare in 1950s. Then, Senator Joseph McCarthy’s relentless pursuit of suspected communists and gays within the US Government led to mass dismissals, horrendous persecution and tragedy.
This concert will showcase duet scenes between the two lovers, accompanied by Coady Green and Kevin Tamanini on the piano. It stars Boyd Owen (tenor) as Tim Laughlin and Adrian Tamburini (bass-baritone) as Hawkins Fuller.
