Only the ship's first mate, Starbuck, sees the deadly implications of Ahab's obsession. "Moby-Dick" was commissioned by the Dallas Opera, San Francisco Opera, Calgary Opera, San Diego Opera, and the State Opera of South Australia. It received its highly acclaimed world premiere on April 30, 2010, at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas, Texas, as part of its inaugural season. Conducted by Patrick Summers and directed by Leonard Foglia, the production featured sets by Robert Brill, projections by Elaine McCarthy, lighting by Donald Holder, and costumes by Jane Greenwood. The cast included tenor Ben Heppner (Ahab), baritone Morgan Smith (Starbuck), tenor Stephen Costello (Greenhorn), bass-baritone Jonathan Lemalu (Queequeg), soprano Talise Trevigne (Pip), baritone Robert Orth (Stubb), and tenor Matthew O'Neill (Flask). The 2012 production of "Moby-Dick" at San Francisco Opera was featured on Great Performances' 40th Season, telecast nationally in 2013 and subsequently released on DVD (EuroArts). That same year, "Heggie & Scheer's Moby-Dick: A Grand Opera for the 21st Century", a book by Robert Wallace, with photos by Karen Almond, about the making of the opera was published by UNT Press. "Moby-Dick" received its East Coast premiere in February 2014 in a production by the Washington National Opera. Music of Remembrance (MOR), a Seattle-based concert series founded by Artistic Director Mina Miller, approached Heggie in 2006 to create what would become a series of three one-act operas on themes of persecution during the Holocaust. The works, each with a libretto by Gene Scheer, are "For a Look or a Touch" (2007), "Another Sunrise" (2012), and "Farewell, Auschwitz" (2013). "For a Look or a Touch" is a story about the persecution of gay men during the Holocaust. Scheer based his text on true stories told in the documentary film "Paragraph 175" and the journal of Manfred Lewin, from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. Heggie later adapted "For a Look or a Touch" for two other performing formats: a stage version with men's choir, and as a song cycle for baritone solo. "Another Sunrise" is a dramatic scene for soprano and chamber ensemble (clarinet, violin, cello, bass, and piano) based on the life and work of Holocaust survivor Krystyna Zywulska.
