"Based on F. W. Murnau's 1922 silent vampire film - a classic of German Expressionist cinema - Gioia's Nosferatu creates a poetic version of the Dracula story in the form of an opera libretto. Written for the neo-romantic composer Alva Henderson, the opera Nosferatu has been showcased around the U.S. and will soon be staged in New York. Gioia's thrilling version of the vampire myth brings forth the terror of Nosferatu, "the undead," as seen through the eyes of the heroine, a gifted young woman trapped in a tragedy beyond her control."--BOOK JACKET.
