Poet, fiction author, editor and teacher Jacob Miller wrote a story / libretto about a struggling graphic artist in New York City. The artist is working on a piece entitled "Manhattan In Charcoal, he meets Beatrice and they start a releationship. That's the setting.
Composer and guitar player Gene Pritsker turned this libretto into a chamber opera. Actually, it's an opera with contemporary and jazz elements.

The result is quite impressive. Both musically and storywise.
