Mayo Buckner presented by Seagle Festival

Music and Libretto by Tom Cipullo

Seagle Festival is proud to present the second ever production of this exemplary new opera by one of the most performed contemporary opera composers alive today. The opera is based on the tragically true story of a young boy (Mayo) committed to the Iowa Home for the Feeble Minded in 1898. Despite Mayo’s repeated requests to be released, it was not until 1957 at age 67 he was properly tested and found to have an above average IQ. What happens to Mayo? Come see the show to witness his life unfold.
