The Gambler's Son

The Glenn Korff School of Music at UNL premiered this new opera, The Gambler’s Son, by Tyler Goodrich White (composer) and Laura White (librettist) in 2019. The Gambler’s Son is adapted from Mari Sandoz’s 1960 novel, Son of the Gamblin’ Man, which tells the true story of the founding of Cozad, Nebraska, of its larger-than-life founder, John J. Cozad, and of Cozad’s son, the illustrious American painter, Robert Henri.

Presented in collaboration with the Glenn Korff School of Music at UNL

The Gambler's Son will be available to watch via the Lied Center Facebook page and at liedcenter.org/live.
