Good Country
an opera composed by Keith Allegretti



In October 2021, I played the piano in a performance and recording of Good Country, an opera by Keith Allegretti and librettist Cecilia Raker. You can watch it above via YouTube.

Good Country is based on true accounts of Charley Parkhurst, a trans male stagecoach driver during the California Gold Rush. Brent Baldwin conducted the chamber ensemble: Mary Schani, Henna Chou, Phil Davidson, Robert Colley, Meagan Peaco, Ben Tibbetts, and vocal ensemble. Melina Jaharis sang the role of Charley, along with a cast of local and regional vocalists including Andy Fleming, Janani Sridhar as the Barmaid, Scott Clark, and Siwei Zhang.
