Atlanta Opera - The Shining
$25-95 ($10 teen tickets)
- Timothy Myers, conductor
The Atlanta Opera makes its long-awaited return to the Alliance Theatre as Stephen King's iconic 1977 thriller comes to the stage in this supernatural tale of possession and murder. Jack Torrance, a father with a troubled past, finds new employment as the winter caretaker for the Overlook Hotel. But as the family settles in to their new accommodations, demonic spirits from the hotel’s past begin to take hold of Jack as he becomes a vessel for their murderous intents. Composer Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell masterfully adapt this riveting story as an opera that will keep you on the edge of your seats from start to finish.
Sung in English with English supertitles.
