A Comic Book Opera? Reinventing the Medium at Converse

The story of women who lived through the Trojan War is told by the women at Converse in a graphic novel style featuring digital technology. The opera employs several 21st century twists and has its world premiere at the college next week. "Troiades" is written and produced by Converse faculty member and composer Dr. David Berry.

Alfred Turner is a familiar voice to many listeners, having hosted past programs such as The Morning Concert, Standard Time and various specials. He was also South Carolina Public Radio’s webmaster for many years, and producer for Walter Edgar's Journal and South Carolina from A to Z.
