Get swept into intrigue on a desert island with the sorcerer Prospero, his daughter Miranda, Caliban, the monstrous offspring of a witch, and Ariel, the light and mischievous sprite in composer Lee Hoiby’s masterful and moving adaptation of Shakespeare’s final play, The Tempest.
The West Coast premiere of this romantic opera has been internationally acclaimed as “a winner; a sumptuously, beautifully written modern masterpiece” by Opera News Magazine with music which Fanfare Magazine termed “buoyant” and “shimmering.” The tale of magic, revenge, and forgiveness is peopled by the sort of fantastical and complex characters that could only have been written by the immortal playwright who Harold Bloom credits with, “the invention of the human.”
