*Jackie O*, by Michael Daugherty, is a pop opera set in the late 1960s that fuses elements of high and popular culture. Centered on Jackie Kennedy Onassis’s transformation into an American icon, the work combines drama, suspense, and spectacle while reimagining opera in a modern American setting. It sets to libretto - various episodes from the tumultuous life of first lady turned shipping heiress turned book editor Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. It sounds pretty wild and includes everyone from Maria Callas, to Aristotle Onassis and even Andy Warhol!

This opera does sound over the top. I have yet to see a modern English opera the was fabulous, but for $10 tickets let's have a fun afternoon. (*Let's not forget **Nixon in China***!!!!!)

I thought we could do a noon lunch at **On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina** (51 U.S. Rte 1, New Brunswick) which is very close to the theater.
