Holy Blood and Crescent Moon
1990
Following tremendous popular success during its world premiere with the Cleveland Opera in 1989, Stewart Copeland, former drummer for the Police, brought his first opera, HOLY BLOOD AND CRESCENT MOON, to Fort Worth in the fall of 1990. Featuring an epic libretto by British playwright Susan Shirwen, the Crusades-set tale received its Texas premiere with a completely revised score, updated libretto, and a sleek contemporary production design.
