Doris to Darlene

Jordan Harrison

Richard Wagnar’s “Liebestod” is the central piece that holds these three overlapping stories, happening almost centuries apart, together. We see a biracial 1960s popstar married to her producer, a young man who loves the popstar’s music and falls for his gay music history teacher, and Wagner himself writing music and falling in love with a French king.
