Florida’s new opera company Opera Fusion presents the world premiere of Not in my Town, an original musical drama based on the life of Matthew Shepard, a young gay college student who was senselessly bullied, beaten, tied to a fence, and left to die.
Not In My Town is a profound and compelling work that also sheds light on the senseless tragedies and hate crimes that are so prevalent today. With a soaring and powerful score performed by South Florida’s best voices, Not In My Town bridges the gap between opera and musical theater. With music and lyrics by Fort Lauderdale’s own Michael Ross, directed by Ardean Landhuis. The orchestra is conducted by Gordon Roberts.
