The world premiere of Michael Daugherty's opera, inspired by episodes from the life of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Features performances by Fiona McAndrew, Nora Sourouzian, Simone Alberghini and Paul Carey Jones. Christopher Franklin conducts.

This unique book offers today's readers an update on Mark Twain's Letters from Earth, as Satan once again reviews the curious lives of humankind; this time, fallen archangel Satan directly addresses God rather than (as in Twain's volume I) the other archangels Gabriel and Michael. Certainly Letters from Earth, Vol. II, will appeal to some of the many fans, scholars, and students of Twain (and, as a valuable literary experiment and tribute, may even inspire others to pen their own letters in the voice of Satan). Further, it can appeal to anyone who thoughtfully observes the human condition and understands that humor can offer the best lens through which to do so.
