Robert Moses Vs. Jane Jacobs: The Opera (Yes, It’s Real)

“It’s called A Marvelous Order – the phrase is drawn from Jacobs’s masterpiece, The Death and Life of Great American Cities – … [with] music by composer Judd Greenstein, choreography by Will Rawls, and words from Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist Tracy K. Smith.” Says director Joshua Frankel, “The biggest challenge is we don’t want to make this, Moses is Darth Vader and Jacobs is a perfect angel from heaven.”
