'The Pigeon Keeper,' composed by David Hanlon with a libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann, departs from typical opera themes to deliver a story filled with hope and emotional healing.

The narrative thoughtfully encapsulates the tenderness of familial bonds and the effects of trauma while integrating a dynamic performance by the San Francisco Girls Chorus. Premiered at Fort Mason, this opera represents the aspirations of the Opera for All Voices initiative for accessible art.
