A group of sharecroppers gather in a cabin, awaiting the arrival of a union organizer. They commiserate about their troubles, until at last, like a mythic hero, 'de organizer' enters and starts urging them to form a union.
Note: De Organizer was an opera lost for more than 60 years returned to the stage. It had one performance at Carnegie Hall in 1940 and then it disappeared. But, the vocal music was discovered in 2004 and a painstaking reconstruction of the orchestral score made the performance possible. (voanews.com)
