Pittsburgh Opera to broadcast world premiere of “In a Grove” on YouTube on Sunday
Pittsburgh Opera will broadcast a recording of its world premiere of Christopher Cerrone and Stephanie Fleischmann’s “In a Grove” for free on YouTube Sunday at 7 p.m.
The opera, based on a short story by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, had its world premiere run at the Bitz Opera Factory, Pittsburgh Opera’s headquarters, in February and March.
On one level a murder mystery, on another level a searing investigation into the nature of truth and limits of perception, “In a Grove”‘s story revolves around finding the killer of a young husband in the woods in the Pacific Northwest.
The video will remain available for viewing through the summer.
