Dead Man Walking is an opera that tells the story of Sister Helen Prejean and her time as a spiritual advisor to Joseph de Rocher, a murderer on death row. According to The Guardian, this new American opera “makes the most concentrated impact of any piece of American music theater since West Side Story.”
The show will be February 2, 5, 8, 10, 2019 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center, 2800 Cobb Galleria Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30339.
