The dreamy duo of Elizabeth and Tracy not only collaborated on the filmed adaptation of Raum’s work, but also on the world premiere of the opera in 1985, giving the two of them a unique connection to the piece and to each other. Conductor Timothy Vernon brings insight into the inspiration behind the filmed adaptation of the work, and the process of making it a reality.
