Music by NOLAN GASSER and Libretto by CAREY HARRISON WORLD PREMIERE—OPERA FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
Co-production with Cal Performances presented at Zellerbach Hall, UC Berkeley.
Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved classic of children's literature comes alive in a new opera created for the entire family. A pampered young girl born to privilege finds herself alone in a bleak and unfamiliar land, until she discovers the hidden wonder of an abandoned secret garden. Unexpected friendships and a new life blossom as she makes the garden flourish again, leading both young and old toward a path of healing and understanding.
Experience this new opera in an interactive, multi-generational family workshop based on the themes, story, characters and music of The Secret Garden. Workshops will take place before the March 2 and March 9 performances. For more information, please visit sfopera.com/gardenworkshop.
