Worcester composer, Stephen Murray, has created a contemporary mini opera based upon another Worcester creation, Ernest L. Thayer’s 1888 poem, Casey at the Bat. The new musical work uses every word of Thayer’s poem, but also expands the story to include Casey’s wife, Dora Mae, a young lad who idolizes Casey, legendary umpire, Foghorn Bradley, and a crowd of enthusiastic baseball fans. This new version of the classic poem is sure to be enjoyed by baseball fans and music lovers of all ages.
