Fort Worth Opera presents Dead Man Walking by Jake Heggie, based on the book of the same name.

Based on actual events. In Louisiana in the 1980s, Joseph DeRocher is a convicted murderer awaiting execution on death row. DeRocher begins a correspondence with Sister Helen. After meeting with him, and despite misgivings of her own, Sister Helen takes on a personal mission to convince DeRocher to find peace and salvation through confession.

Dead Man Walking was the first opera composed by Jake Heggie. It is based on a book by Sister Helen Prejean and her real-life experiences working with death-row inmates. The libretto was written by Pulitzer-Prize winner Terrence McNally. The opera was first performed in San Francisco in 2000.

Performed in English.
