The Life and Death(s) of Alan Turing, Chicago Opera Theater

This innovative opera features Music by Justine F. Chen, Libretto by David Simpatico

Alan Turing, a brilliant computer scientist, saves England from Nazi U-boats during World War II. Despite his innovative feat, he was chemically castrated after being found guilty of gross indecency in a homosexual relationship. Turing was found poisoned alongside a cyanide-laced apple just two years later. While his death was ruled a suicide, there are alternative theories to the cause. COT describes the work as  multidimensional, with innovative use of chorus and transference of time. Chicago Opera Theater performs at Harris Theater, 205 E. Randolph Chicago, IL, 60601. Note this is a pricey ticket if you are not a subscriber, with seats starting at $50.
