PLAGUE MASS

PLAGUE MASS
a new opera

June 25th, 1985. Rock Hudson announces his AIDS diagnosis and sends a shockwave through American culture affecting everyone from the highest levels of government to the activists fighting for their lives in the streets.

Composed by Jordan Rutter-Covatto at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with new commissions from five creative pairs, PLAGUE MASS explores what connects us in a time of crisis across divisions of power, class, and sexual identity.

“Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble
and He saved them from their distress.
He sent out His word and healed them;
He rescued them from the grave.”
