The Post Office

The ghost of Benjamin Franklin, the first US Postmaster General, is drawn into a thoroughly contemporary conflict among co-workers in a one-room post office about gay marriage, free speech, racial and class divides, and democracy itself in a provocative new opera by composer Laura Kaminsky (As One) and poet/librettist Elaine Sexton (Site Specific).

Produced by American Opera Projects, The Post Office makes its New York premiere featuring a cast of five singers and piano, and a set designed by Charles Renfro, a partner in the distinguished architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro with a long history of involvement in the performing arts.
