San Francisco Opera recently premiered composer Tobias Pickers opera version of Stephen Kings novel Dolores Claiborne, previously adapted into a successful movie. "Many of his 56 novels have spent time on bestseller lists, making King a king of pop culture accessibility," quipps Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times music critic, who adds, wryly,Michael Kors Watches, "just what the opera world lusts after these days". Still, there seems to be a sense that justification of such topics is needed. Pre-empting any raised eyebrows,Michael Kors Outlet, Picker unambiguously invoked Puccinis great verismo heroine when he claimed the put-upon, ultimately homicidal Dolores was "an American Tosca".
