What’s gay at the Fort Worth Opera Festival

It’s not just Michael Chioldi, whom we profiled this week playing Scarpia in Tosca, who brings queer sensibilities to the Fort Worth Opera Festival (which started last weekend). There are some other gay connections you might wanna know about:

• The only two living composers to have their work performed this season — Jake Heggie (Three Decembers) and Mark Adamo (Lysistrata) — are gay. Three Decembers runs tonight.

• The director of Lysistrata, FWO regular David Gately, is also gay.

• Charles Allen Klein, who designed the costumes for The Marriage of Figaro, is the partner of opera director Bliss Hebert. We profiled the two of them earlier this year for their Traviata production at the Dallas Opera.
