''For his first-ever opera, Andre Previn turned to one of the most celebrated plays in the history of American theater, Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning A streetcar named desire. He saw the haunting story of lost youth and innocence in the romantic, shadowy world of New Orleans as ideal material to work on: ''Its an opera already'' he said, ''except that it doesn’t have any music.'' Collaborating with librettist Philip Littell, Previn has captured all the claustrophobic tension, volatile emotion and sexual undertow of William’s original in his own Streetcar''--Insert.
