About the event

Contemporary opera scenes, directed by Keith Warner, that tell tales of unrequited love, “a madness most discreet,” alongside the complexities of jealousy captured in “the green-eyed monster.” As characters confront ambition, we are reminded that “all that glitters is not gold.”In bringing these stories of desire and conflict to life, these contemporary opera scenes celebrate Shakespeare’s enduring legacy, highlighting that “all the world’s a stage” and the struggles of the human heart remain ever unchanged.
