The Moby Dick Blues is a bold, genre-blending opera that explores the struggles of a New England fishing town grappling with the devastating impact of the opioid crisis. Weaving together blues, rap, rock, and spoken word, this powerful piece reimagines the myth of Ahab’s hunt for the White Whale as a metaphor for modern cycles of destruction—within nature, community, and the self. Set in a haunting, immersive environment, the story spans generations of mariners and lost souls, drawing audiences to the crossroads where history, addiction, and environmental reckoning collide.
