Festival Napa Valley commissioned The Judgment of Paris, an opera composed by Jake Heggie with a libretto by Gene Scheer. Inspired by the 1976 blind tasting that upended the global wine industry and redefined California’s place in the world, this one-act opera is a compelling, humorous, and richly entertaining work that will resonate with audiences far beyond the wine world.
The Bacchus Society is a community of patrons who share a love of artistic discovery, creative risk, and of Napa Valley’s role as a place where great new work begins. Your support directly fuels the creation of this extraordinary opera and ensures it reaches its full artistic potential. Members will be recognized in Festival materials, with the option to remain anonymous. Gifts at all levels are warmly welcomed.
