Scalia/Ginsburg premiered in 2015 and has since established itself as one of the most popular operas of the 21st Century. The opera is inspired by the opinions of U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia. On a deeper level it explores the friendship between the two justices on opposite ends of the political spectrum, who disagreed on almost every contentious issue but shared a love of opera.

Scalia/Ginsburg is an operatic comedy set in the Supreme Court Building courtroom where Scalia is confronted by the "Commentator", a supernatural being who seals the room, stating "No man shall enter." The Commentator demands that Scalia defend his approach to the law and pass three trials before being released. Ginsburg, not a man, breaks into the courtroom to defend her friend Scalia and they face the trials together. The story explores what happens when the two Supreme Court Justices go before a Higher Power. Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia face the trials as they grapple with their opposing views, legal legacies, and unlikely friendship. Opinions will be offered. Dissents will be delivered. And justice will be sung.
