In a Grove – Jan 16-19
Co-presented with Prototype Festival
Composer: Christopher Cerrone
Director: Mary Birnbaum
Librettist: Stephanie Fleischmann
Music Director: Raquel Acevedo Klein
Inspired by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa’s classic story, In A Grove is a haunting meditation on the impossibility of truth and the subjectivity of memory and perception. Set in a ghost forest in the aftermath of a wildfire in the Pacific Northwest, this searing adaptation plunges the listener progressively deeper into the ever more fallible regions of the human heart, interrogating how we see, hear, remember and believe.
Commissioned by the Los Angeles Opera. Co-Produced by the Pittsburgh Opera and Metropolis Ensemble.
With additional creative and development support provided by Raulee Marcus and Steven Block.
