Since his death in 2011, Apple mastermind Steve Jobs has been the subject of documentaries, books, a film and even a graphic¹ novel. Now the technology pioneer will be immortalized in song as the focus of an upcoming opera.

自2011年去世之后，苹果之父史蒂夫·乔布斯成了多部纪录片和书籍、一部电影、甚至还有一部漫画小说的主题。现在，乔布斯又将会成为未来一部歌剧的主题，这位科技先驱将在歌声中永垂不朽。

The Santa Fe Opera, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, announced on August 5 that it has commissioned a new production based on Jobs that will premier² in 2017. Entitled 'The Revolution of Steve Jobs', it will find the creator of the computer mouse and iPhone reflecting on his own mortality while recalling people and events from his life that inspired him.

Jobs operated from in his garage in Los Altos, California, and with partner Steve Wozniak released the compact Apple II at the time Albuquerque was a technology hub. He was fired from Apple in 1985 in a board coup³ but came back 11 years later. On his second tour, he introduced the iMac, the iPod and the iPhone. That journey is the perfect story for an opera, General Director Charles MacKay said.

He added: 'We are delighted to take this journey into the life and legacy⁴ of a distinctly American figure through the creative genius of Mason Bates and Mark Campbell.' Composer Bates, and Campbell, a librettist⁵, will be co-writing the production.

Bates said the story of Jobs is a great intersection⁶ of creativity, innovation and human communication. His relationship with those who helped him along that journey also will help tell the story in the opera, Bates added.

He said: 'Each character will have their own music. When they collide, that's when it gets interesting.'
