Join Virginia Opera's Resident Scholar Josh Borths for an in-depth look at Fellow Travelers! The opera premiered in 2016, but the makings of the work go back to the 1950s Lavender Scare.

Let's Talk Opera - Fellow Travelers

Fellow Travelers is thrilling, steamy, and will have you on the edge of your seat! The 1950s had its own sense of style, and its very real problems. Fellow Travelers follows the story of a love affair between two men caught in the turbulent moment of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s “Lavender Scare” – an overt policy to drive homosexuality out of government service. The very real struggles resulting from this witch-hunt end in a stunning act of betrayal. A Commonwealth premiere by Virginia-native, composer Gregory Spears.
