Opera Screening

A compelling new opera about three women in different times and places, The Hours is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham and the Academy Award-winning film adaptation that followed. Both the book and the film make heavy reference to an earlier novel, Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, which forms a sort of parallel background narrative. The opera uses Woolf’s and Cunningham’s magisterial prose as a departure point from which to explore ambiguities and fluidities that cry out for musical expression.
