Center Stage Opera is excited to announce the WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION of Marie's Orchard, a stunning new opera that combines the story of love, passion and betrayal with a soaring lyrical score that is sure to take your breath away.
Adapted from the novel O Pioneers! by Willa Cather, the Marie's Orchard libretto was written by Center Stage Opera Artistic Director Dylan F. Thomas, who has taken key characters and plotlines from the novel and crafted them into a heart wrenching narrative that explores the true meaning of love in the face of desperate circumstances.
One of the most distinguished American composers and educators alive today, Marie's Orchard composer Philip Westin has crafted a true musical masterpiece, taking moments of beautiful lyricism, toe-tapping revelry, and gut-wrenching tension and combining them into a score that is certain to be hailed as the next great American opera.
