Washington DC. 1953. A secret love affair that will leave you breathless. 💔

Fellow Travelers comes to Balboa Theatre in just one month. This acclaimed opera features music by Gregory Spears, libretto by Greg Pierce, and is conducted by Patrick Summers and directed by Kevin Newbury.

When idealistic Timothy Laughlin arrives in the nation's capital to join the fight against communism, a chance encounter changes everything. Set against the backdrop of McCarthyism, this is a story of love, secrecy, and heart-wrenching choices.

You'll be on the edge of your seat.
