ABOUT “BEYOND THE HORIZON” THE PLAY​

Eugene O’Neill’s seminal, Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Beyond the Horizon, was written in 1918 but not produced or published until 1920, when it made its debut in New York. Beyond the Horizon was O’Neill’s first successful full-length play, and it signaled a change in American drama. Critics and audiences responded favorably to O’Neill’s dark, tragic vision, which contrasted sharply with the unrealistic, melodramatic plays of the day. The play drew heavily on O’Neill’s own experiences, including his tuberculosis and his sea voyages.

​ABOUT ” BEYOND THE HORIZON” BY NICOLAS FLAGELLO

The last of Flagello’s operas was Beyond the Horizon. The opera was based on a play by Nobel laureate Eugene O’Neill (1888-1953), generally considered to be America’s greatest playwright. Beyond the Horizon was O’Neill’s first published play. The play was brought to the composer’s attention by Walter Simmons, a musicologist who has written extensively on American composers. Flagello worked on the opera for several years, finishing it in short score in 1983. Unfortunately, before he was able to complete the orchestration he developed a degenerative neurological condition that ended his creative life prematurely. After Flagello’s death at age 66, the composer Anthony Sbordoni undertook the orchestration of the work, leaving the work ready to perform.
