The Rose Theater

Music by David Hanlon

Libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann

“No matter how far away they go, they always fly home.”

As part of the Family Opera Series, The Pigeon Keeper, a mystical new opera welcomes opera goers of every age to The Rose Theater.

On an island in the Mediterranean, a fisherman and his daughter pull a boy like a fish from the sea. Who is this child? Why won’t he speak? How will they find him a home?

Told through cinematic projections, moving music, and children’s chorus, this contemporary fable invites audiences from every generation to celebrate the kindness of strangers and the unexpected places we find family.
