New Works, Bold Voices Lab

Steven Mackey & Rinde Eckert

Even the rich and famous often long for escape. And in an age when science makes everything seem possible, why not reach for the stars? This new opera by composer Steven Mackey and librettist Rinde Eckert beautifully and wistfully re-imagines a meeting between Queen Elizabeth, her husband Prince Philip, and the Apollo 11 astronauts following the 1969 moon landing.

Commissioned by New Works, Bold Voices Lab, an expansion of Opera Theatre of St. Louis’s existing “New Works, Bold Voices” cycle, which supports contemporary storytelling by American composers and librettists. The New Works, Bold Voices Lab is performed in English, accompanied by members of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
