Description
TLO proudly presents the World Premier of The Yellow Rose of Texas. Set in the days of the Texas War for Independence, the legend offers the tale of Emily de Zavala (wife of the Vice President of the Republic), who was seized by Mexican forces during the Texas looting of Galveston, and seduced by General Santa Ana (President of Mexico and commander of the Mexican forces). The legend credits her supposed seduction with lowering the guard of the Mexican army and facilitating the Texan victory in the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto. Santa Anna's opponent was General Sam Houston, who won the battle literally in minutes, and with almost no casualties. With tuneful and romantic music by the Pulitzer Prize nominated composer Gregory Sullivan Isaacs, and a libretto by critically acclaimed playwright Jeffrey Haddow, this new work offers the untold legend of a true Texan heroine.
