Opera review: 'Queenie Pie' picks up where Duke Ellington left off by Mark Swed

Long Beach Opera makes the most ambitious effort yet on a Duke Ellington opera-in-the-making, and it has an electrifying cast to work with.Did Duke Ellington want to write an opera? Absolutely. He was working on "Queenie Pie" when he died in 1974.
