But Jake Heggie’s remarkable score probes t he depths of the emotional cores of the characters in ways that mere word s cannot express. \n\nMy responsibility was to find the music that that p erson would sing. Not the music that I want them to sing, but the music t hat they would sing. --Jake Heggie\n\nThrough a series of letters, Sister Helen Prejean has befriended a death row convict, Joseph De Rocher. He now requests to see her in person, asking the nun to become his spiritual advisor. The task is a difficult one, for he is unwilling to confess to the two brutal murders for which he is no doubt responsible. With the d ate of the execution looming ever nearer, can Sister Helen lead Joseph to accept responsibility for his crime? An opera for our times, Dead Man Wa lking does indeed raise the issue of capital punishment. Is there justic e to be found in a lethal injection?\n\nIn this story, no one’s feeling s are wrong. We’re not trying to preach. We’re giving perspectives from everyone. --Jake Heggie\n\nIn a series of eighteen scenes Heggie, an d librettist Terrence McNally introduce the families of both the criminal and his victims, moving us through self-doubt, exultation, prayer, venge ance, tragedy, self-discovery, repentance, forgiveness, and ultimately re demption.\n\nForgiveness is the big journey in life - the one thing that will give a person peace of mind. --Jake Heggie\n\nHeggie’s score combi nes American jazz, rock-and-roll, and spiritual music with the composer†™s remarkable gift for sweeping melodies and sensitivity to text, all wit h an evocative rhythmic energy that intensifies and propels the story rel entlessly forward.\n\nStaged by UNL Director of Opera, William Shomos, De ad Man Walking will feature many of UNL Opera’s finest voice students. Tyler White conducts the UNL Philharmonia and Laurel Shoemaker provides the powerful set design. \n\nDue to the subject matter and language, the opera is recommended for mature audiences.\n\nTickets: Adults $20, studen t/senior $10. Available thru the Lied Center box office, 402/472-4747 or 1-800/432-3231.
