    Chess in Concert is a complex rock opera in which the ancient game becomes a metaphor for romantic rivalries, competitive gamesmanship, super power politics and international intrigue. The loutish American chess star, the earnest Russian champion and a Hungarian American female assistant form an international love triangle in which lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score. Although the protagonists were not intended to represent any specific individuals, the characters' personalities are loosely based on those of Victor Korchnoi and Bobby Fischer who died earlier in 2008.

    This spectacular concert features Michael Kitts, Jeffrey Williams, Laura Matula along with other local favorite performers in the lead roles, as well as a unique Chess choir of over 30 voices, directed by Lauren Shouse and musical directed by Rollie Mains.
