Synopsis:
Shining Brow centers around the 11 tumultuous years (1903-1914) in the young career of American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. The episodes include the Cliff Dwellers Club in Chicago with Louis Sullivan (Wright's former mentor), a construction site in Oak Park, Illinois, Berlin, Germany, and finally Taliesin (Wright's estate in Wisconsin) where many of the most tragic events of Wright's life are played out.
Shining Brow was commissioned by the Madison Opera, a division of the Madison Civic Music Association. The composer was officially authorized by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the Taliesin Fellowship to compose the opera and to have it published.
This excerpted version is a chamber opera that may be performed by omitting all of the choral and instrumental sections of the "Shining Brow" opera. It may be performed as a 70 minute chamber opera requiring only the major roles.
