The Pine Mountain Music Festival presents Guerilla Opera in a concert of The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, a new opera by composer Elena Ruehr and Pulitzer-prize-winning librettist Royce Vavrek. 

Based on the New York Times best-selling graphic novel by Sydney Padua, this is the concert version of the comedic new work. It centers on scientists Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage, the real-life unsung inventors of the first computer, fighting crime in alternate universes with their new invention.

Ada Lovelace was a mathematician, gambler, and proto-programmer, whose writings contained the first-ever appearance of general computing theory. Lovelace was the first great genius to develop a programming language, and she is still not generally known. Charles Babbage was the eccentric inventor of the Difference Engine, an enormous clockwork calculating machine that would have been the first computer if he had ever finished it.
