Based entirely on text from the Bible (both the Old and New Testaments), King of Glory tells the Easter story in a vivid, new way. The music precisely follows the meaning of the text, from its lush harmonies to its pulse-pounding rhythms. And all the while, unforgettable melodies provide the gifted singer-actors of Bluegrass Opera a unique vehicle to bring the text to life with visceral energy.
