Two decades and three Juilliard degrees later, he will see his first opera (of the same title), for which he adapted the text from the 1891 original, premiere next week at the Opera de Monte-Carlo in Monaco.

Five kill-crazy nerdlingers will soon engage in mortal combat, 21st century style, against a tenderfoot with a cunning computer handle: Cyber Rick...
