Presented by Festival Opera
August 13 - 15, 2021
This World Premiere Event of works by Jake Heggie features three song cycles reimagined as fully staged chamber operas. These three moving narratives share one common theme: the deep human desire for love and acceptance. Festival Opera welcomes a world-class cast of West Coast artists with strong ties to Heggie's operas and song repertoire. As Festival Opera celebrate their 30th Anniversary Season, they are thrilled and honored to feature the collaboration and performance of Jake Heggie himself in this newly assembled work. This production is the result of General Director Zachary Gordin's long standing relationship with Jake Heggie and his works, and of their conversations about what opera can be in this era of rebirth.
Running Time: approx. 2 hours, with two intermissions
