Opera Saratoga Presents: In a Grove (Saratoga Spa State Park)

Join Opera Saratoga in the Ferndell Pavilion with a site-specific installation version of a new opera, “In a Grove” composed by Chris Cerrone with libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann. This operatic adaptation of Akutagawa’s classic short story “In a Grove” which inspired the plot of Kurosawa’s renowned film “Rashomon,” offers a searing investigation into the impossibility and elusiveness of truth. The New York Times deemed the opera:  “A vividly immersive thriller about the nature of truth and memory. Not a word or note is without dramaturgical purpose.”

With four performances at the Ferndell Pavilion in Saratoga Spa State Park:
May 28 at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. and May 29 at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. 
Rain date: May 31 at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

“In a Grove” is presented by arrangement with Schott Music Corporation, New York, publisher and copyright owner.
