Manifest Destiny (opera)

Manifest Destiny is an opera composed by Keith Burstein with an English libretto by Dic Edwards. The opera is notable for dealing with the subject of Islamic suicide bombers, and with the ramifications of both the Middle Eastern conflict and the War on Terror. The opera has been staged twice: once at London's Tricycle Theatre in 2004 and once at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2005. Six years after the Edinburgh performances, the opera was extensively rewritten and restaged in London as Manifest Destiny 2011.
