The Revolution of Steve Jobs
Music by M. Bates/ Libretto by M. Campbell
“Riveting.”
THE HERALD-TIMES
“Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow.” Reportedly, the final words of Steve Jobs. Powerful proclamation. Powerful man. A revolutionizing force of nature.
Like many geniuses, however, he was also a deeply troubled individual and divisive in nature. While one part of him connected the entire world, the other part struggled to connect with even one other human being.
He constantly sought a balance between reality and perfection. Apparently, he did not know that they can coexist only briefly. Or—perhaps, they are exactly the same thing.
In English with English supertitles.
A Jacobs School of Music coproduction with the Santa Fe Opera, Seattle Opera, and San Francisco Opera.
