David struggles to reconcile spiritual humility with ambition. His desire for more wreaks havoc on his family, friendships and, perhaps, his own faith. His journey from preacher to Governor, like the lives of those closest to him, is shaped by the current affairs of the 1980s.

The Righteous

Santa Fe Opera

Experience the world premiere of The Factotum, a soul opera inspired by Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" that has grown into a joyful, original piece all its own, commissioned by Lyric. Creators Will Liverman, a Grammy-nominated baritone, and dynamic producer/DJ/multi-instrumentalist DJ King Rico update the action to a Black barbershop on Chicago's South Side, creating an irresistibly upbeat work that celebrates the strength of community. The Factotum blends diverse musical styles with boundless imagination to create a soul opera, moving from gospel and funk to rap, hip-hop, classic barbershop quartet, and R&B. Those styles connect brilliantly with classical singing in a very human comedy that redefines everything that opera can be.
