Additional info/contents	Commissioned by the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, 27 premiered in June, 2014; the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch dubbed it 'serious fun,' and later included the opera in its year end review of Classical Music Highlights from 2014. The 'clever, witty libretto' [Saint Louis Post-Dispatch] by Royce Vavrek celebrates the life of Gertrude Stein and the legendary salons she hosted at 27 rue de Fleurus in Paris. The opera draws the audience into the artistic environment that Stein created and shared with many important artists of the twentieth century including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Man Ray, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. At its core, 27 is a portrait of a genius and her legacy as knitted to life by Alice B. Toklas, her wife.
