"Having already adapted one film for the operatic stage -- 'Il Postino,' currently playing at the Los Angeles Opera -- composer Daniel Catán is set to repeat the task with a new work based on the 1941 Frank Capra classic 'Meet John Doe.'
The opera, commissioned by the Butler School of Music in Texas, is scheduled to premiere at the University of Texas at Austin Butler Opera Center in fall 2012. Catán will be a composer-in-residence at the university in 2011 in order to work on the new composition."
How fascinating.
