The Opera Theatre of St. Louis is performing the world premier of a newly staged production of Harvey Milk, the Opera this summer. Join docent Phillip Deitch for a special presentation about the opera for MCCGSL. Later in the summer, we will plan a group to enjoy the opera, so look for more information about how to get your discount ticket.

About Harvey Milk, the opera:

"Hope will never be silent." Based on the true story of Harvey Milk, this opera delves into the tumultuous era of the 1970s to trace one young man’s rise to lead a movement. During his time as the “Mayor of Castro Street,” Harvey Milk fought for the rights of the disenfranchised…and paid the ultimate price for his work to advance those freedoms. Through Milk’s legacy, we are reminded that we are more united than divided, regardless of our background.
