Only someone as visionary as Gordon Getty would venture to adapt Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher—about a tormented man and his sickly sister—and transform it into an opera! And only a company as bold as San Francisco Opera would present it. Please join San Francisco Opera, Mechanics' Institute, San Francisco Center for the Book, and Litquake  in an on-stage conversation at San Francisco Center for the Book between Mr. Getty and Litquake co-founder Jane Ganahl, about the process of adapting a venerable work of literature into a vibrant piece of music for the stage.
