Ozarks 406991711969635

Featuring a haunting, operatic score by the one and only singer-songwriter, and actor Tom Waits and words by legendary writer, William S.

The opera centers on the character of Wilhem, a clerk, who is in love with a huntsman’s daughter, but must win her father’s approval by proving his worth as a marksman. He is offered magic bullets by Pegleg, the Devil, which he believes he can control.
