If you're anything like us, you don't typically associate opera with the Wild West—but Good Country, created by composer Keith Allegretti and librettist Cecelia Raker, might change your mind. Performed by students in PSU's lauded opera program, the performance spins the yarn of Charley Parkhurst, a California gold rush-era stagecoach driver who was assigned female at birth, but lived life as a man. Good Country is one of the first contemporary operas to craft a lead role for a trans singer.
