Two Boys
Two Boys is an opera in two acts by American composer Nico Muhly, with an English-language libretto by American playwright Craig Lucas. The opera's story is based on real events in Manchester, England, in 2003 as described in a 2005 Vanity Fair article titled "You Want Me 2 Kill Him?"
Muhly's opera was first performed by the English National Opera (ENO) in London on 24 June 2011, directed by Bartlett Sher. It was performed by the Metropolitan Opera in New York in October and November 2013. The ENO and the Met shared the initial production costs.
Using the narrative structure of a police investigation into a violent crime, the opera explores the world of online relationships and chatrooms, and was billed by the ENO as "a cautionary tale of the dark side of the internet."
Nonesuch Records released the first recording of the piece, from the Metropolitan Opera production, in 2014.
