The devil finds work for idle hands. Tom Rakewell is determined to live by his wits and trust to luck, but he’s quickly deceived and led to series of misadventures and a life of debauchery by the devil. Fate and a game of cards will decide whether Tom is saved by his true love or condemned to everlasting hell. Stravinsky’s beautiful and daring opera will come to life with David Hockney’s striking sets and Thierry Fischer’s eagerly anticipated Utah Opera conducting debut.
