Premiering November 1st on PBSās Great Performances is director Jon Elseās stunning behind-the-scenes film about the San Francisco Operaās performance of Jon Adamsā "Girls of the Golden West." The film transports us into very funny and very dark worlds, as two versions of the same story march forward 170 years apart: men and women on a collision course in California on the Fourth of July, 1851, and behind the scenes with quick-witted young opera singers excavating that same history in the age of Trump. Whatever you were expecting in a documentary about the Gold Rush, this is not it.
Amid the backstage hubbub, composer John Adams, singers Julia Bullock, Paul Appleby, JāNai Bridges, and director Peter Sellars wrestle their bittersweet show āGirls of the Golden Westā onto the stage. In Jon Elseās third documentary with Adams, Deadwood meets A Night at the Opera, as this rollicking documentary lays bare the flamboyant and brutal roots of modern American excess.
