There’s an article up at the BBC about The Whitechapel Whirlwind, the opera that I’m writing the libretto for. My only quibble with the article is that it gives the impression that the whole opera will be performed next Tuesday; in fact, it will just be excerpts. Still, I think the article gives a good sense of who Jack “Kid” Berg was, and why he’s a worthy subject for the world’s first opera about boxing.
