Along the way the Truckers attempt to untangle the mess that is southern history by exploring the contradictory dualistic nature of the region. Like twin paths intersecting and diverging before meeting again the opera's libretto focuses on the lives of two bands: the fictional Betamax Guillotine a stand - in for the Truckers themselves and Southern rock gods Lynyrd Skynyrd. Rien Fertel takes us for a ride along the Truckers winding road through the opera's Southlands a region filled with youthful rockstar aspirations fatal crashes the wreckage of one band gone too soon and the ambitions of another wrestling with the great hope and tragedy that is America.
