Scalia/Ginsburg
Scalia/Ginsburg is a one-act operatic comedy by composer-librettist Derrick Wang about the unlikely friendship between U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia — and the pivotal moment that would change the Supreme Court for years to come. Inspired by the Justices’ own words, this show was first introduced at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013, ushering in the era of Supreme Court-themed art.
