Atlanta Opera Dead Man Walking: He’s a convicted killer. She’s devoted her life to God. What could they possibly have to say to one another?
A true story that spawned a best-selling book and an Academy Award-winning movie, Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking tells of Sister Helen Prejean and her time as spiritual advisor to Joseph de Rocher, a murderer on death row.
