"Moby Dick from San Francisco Opera" on Great Performances airs Friday at 9 pm

GREAT PERFORMANCES partnered with San Francisco Opera, one of the nation’s leading opera companies, to record Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer’s adaptation of the classic Herman Melville novel Moby Dick. Filmed fresh from his headline-making appearance as a last-minute replacement in the title role of Siegfried in the Met Opera’s epic Ring Cycle, Jay Hunter Morris starred as the obsessive Captain Ahab, delivering a bravura performance.

Great Performances "Moby Dick from San Francisco Opera" can be seen on Friday, November 1st at 9:00 p.m. on channel 3.
