OVERVIEW
Music by Joseph Illick | Libretto by Andrea Fellows Fineberg
RELAXED PERFORMANCE
Saturday, June 6 - 2:00PM
We welcome everyone to enjoy the show in the way that is most comfortable for them. Perfect for first time opera-goers, those looking for a more casual experience, students and youth who are curious about opera, and individuals with sensitivity concerns or disabilities. While the opera performance itself will have no changes, in order to make this experience more accessible, we will adapt the performance experience in the following ways:
- A relaxed atmosphere allows patrons to talk and vocalize as they wish.
- There is no ‘Shushing’ during the show. If you are someone who enjoys silence during the opera, this performance might not be for you.
- Patrons are free to leave and re-enter the seating area as needed.
- An additional, quiet, calm space will be available for patrons if they wish to take a break from the performance.
- We encourage patrons to bring their own noise canceling headphones and fidgets if desired.
ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
The Family Opera Series returns with the one-act opera, UnShakeable. Three years after a mysterious epidemic has left its survivors plagued by memory loss, two actors reunite in a desolate theater using the only common language they can find: Shakespeare. As they search for sparks of their forgotten past, they’ll need the audience’s help to connect them to memories and emotions that linger just out of reach.
