GOODBYE TO A LEGEND
We bid a reverent adieu to legendary composer Carlisle Floyd. Considered the "Grandfather of American Opera," Floyd was a deft composer and librettist who elevated regional themes to powerful universal stories. He was also the mentor of composer Craig Bohmler. Craig's new opera "Riders the Purple Sage" is dedicated to Carlise. We are honored Carlisle appears in our "Riders of the Purple Sage: The Making of a Western Opera' in one of his last interviews.
