Tonight, at 8 p.m. Classical MPR is proud to air Minnesota Opera's version of 'Doubt.'
After life as a Pulitzer Prize-winning play and then an Oscar-nominated film, "Doubt" by John Patrick Shanley was staged by the Minnesota Opera at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts about a year ago.
Shanley said the Minnesota Opera production is the most complete telling of his story about a priest accused of impropriety.
Here are three articles with Shanley reflecting on telling this complicated, nuanced story in the setting of an opera.
