The Old Man and the Sea
Bloody, but unbowed
"It is time to revisit everything you know about the opera, because it is a brave new world, and this new opera presentation of The Old Man and the Sea, is a game-changer." — the Triangle Review
An outcast fisherman was born under an unlucky star. But day after day, Santiago casts his nets, waiting for the catch that could redeem and reward his efforts.
Breathtakingly staged with eight pools of water enhanced with dynamic lighting, costumes and sound, our latest collaboration with the groundbreaking Beth Morrison Projects transforms Hemingway's Pulitzer-winning novel into a rumination on age, loss, nature, and what it means to be beautifully, stubbornly human.
Composed by Paola Prestini. Libretto by Royce Vavrek.
Running time: approximately one hour and 40 minutes, performed without intermission.
Sung in:English with projected subtitles
