Heggie’s Earth 2.0 is a Critic’s Choice for 2024-25 Season
September 2024

Jake Heggie is mainly known for opera, but the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra is offering him a change by commissioning and premiering Earth 2.0. Set to a text by Iranian-American writer Anita Amirrezvani, the work depicts the conflict between humans and the planet. Music director Robert Spano will take the helm, with countertenor Key’mon Murrah as soloist. The program includes another earth-shaking work: Beethoven’s Eroica.
