The most celebrated opera composer of our time, John Adams’ latest work is “the most unabashedly romantic, gloriously tonal score to hit the opera scene in many years” - Variety.
With a stellar international cast and a new semi-staged production by acclaimed Australian director Patrick Nolan, A Flowering Tree sweeps you away from reality to a land of enchantment and passion.
Libretto adapted by John Adams and Peter Sellars from a Southern Indian folktale and poems translated by AK Ramanujan.
2hr 30 min including interval. Staged concert performance.
Sung in English and Spanish with English surtitles.
