The Center for Contemporary Opera presents a reading from the new opera, "Bobby". This opera explores the extraordinary "fall and rise" of Robert Kennedy, a powerful man caught between the ideals of his youth and the lurid, apocalyptic realities of manhood lived at the moral brink of the 1960s.

Composed by Chandler Carter with a libretto by Stephen Molton.

Directed by Sam Helfrich and conducted by James Ross. Featuring Todd Wilander, Tammy Hensrud, Sara Wallander, Aaron Theno, Daniel Klein, and David Neal
