Drawing on contemporary accounts, period photographs, dime novels, this visionary opera traces the legendary outlaw's passage across the blasted landscape of 1880 New Mexico and the collective unconscious of his country. 

The Collected Works of Billy the Kid is a virtuoso synthesis of storytelling, history, and myth by a writer and composer who brings us back to our familiar legends with a renewed sense of wonder.
