Tom Cipullo (geb. 1956) : After life (2015)
"After Life", Tom Cipullo's modern opera, investigates the role of art in a distressed world, and asks heavy questions about an artist's obligation in confronting humanity in all of its good and bad parts.
David Mason wrote the libretto for the work, which imagines a meeting between Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein as ghosts, who show their brilliance and flaws.
