Based on the memoir by Sister Helen Prejean, Dead Man Walking is one of the most widely acclaimed and frequently performed operas of the past 25 years.

Imprisoned for a horrific double murder, Joseph De Rocher asks Sister Helen for spiritual guidance as he awaits execution on Death Row. Despite the misgivings of the sisters of her mission and members of the prison staff, Helen agrees to his request. Caught between the pain and grief of De Rocher’s family and the families of his victims, Helen attempts to lead De Rocher to a confession of his terrible crimes, whatever the emotional cost to herself.

With a libretto by acclaimed playwright Terrence McNally set to Jake Heggie’s deeply affecting score, Dead Man Walking is an intensely powerful work that explores the limits of compassion, faith and forgiveness.
