Publisher's Synopsis
The Piano Vocal Score of the American Grand Opera. Hailed as "American opera on display and at its finest..." (National Opera Association), ROSCOE (music by Evan Mack, libretto by Joshua McGuire) is an opera of larger-than-life dramatic and musical scale. Roscoe Conway, after many years at the helm of Albany, New York's notorious political machine, resolves to call it a day and quit politics. But a mysterious suicide message from his best friend throws him headlong back into a world of gangsters, whorehouses, cockfights, courtrooms, ghosts, and bygone loves. Based on the novel of the same name by Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Kennedy, ROSCOE is an American grand opera for the ages.
