Noted avant garde composer John Moran has selected Las Vegas’s award-winning Majestic Repertory Theatre to debut a new immersive staging of his composition The Manson Family (an opera), marking the fiftieth anniversary of the notorious 1969 crime that shook the nation. Originally commissioned by the Lincoln Center, The Manson Family (an opera) has built a cult following largely due to its cast recording produced by Moran’s artistic mentor Phillip Glass and featuring Iggy Pop.
The Manson Family (an opera) begins shortly after the murders have occurred and features four key players: a ghostly Prosecutor, Susan Atkins, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, and Manson. The Beatles also make brief appearances. Audiences will visit the Cielo Drive scene, gather around a bonfire at Spahn Ranch, and become the jury in the L.A. County Courtroom.
Because of the immersive staging, only sixteen tickets will be sold to each performance, making this an intimate and unique performance for audiences.
