The Secret Garden

Music by Nolan Gasser and Libretto by Carey Harrison

WORLD PREMIERE—OPERA FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

Co-production with Cal Performances presented at Zellerbach Hall, UC Berkeley.

Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved classic of children's literature comes alive in a new opera created for the entire family. A pampered young girl born to privilege finds herself alone in a bleak and unfamiliar land, until she discovers the hidden wonder of an abandoned secret garden. Unexpected friendships and a new life blossom as she makes the garden flourish again, leading both young and old toward a path of healing and understanding.
