The End of the Affair (opera)
''The End of the Affair'' is a chamber opera with music by Jake Heggie and a libretto by Heggie and Leonard Foglia.
Based on the Graham Greene novel of the same title, it is set in London in 1944 and 1946 and focuses on Maurice and Sarah. Maurice vows to end their illicit affair if his life is spared in a bombing. His survival leads to Sarah's religious conversion, and Maurice's railing against God for it. After Sarah returns to her husband, Maurice hires a private detective to investigate her under direction of her husband Henry.
