Frankenstein

(World Premiere)

by Gregg Kallor

Arizona Opera presents its third world premiere, based on Mary Shelley's iconic novel, Frankenstein comes to the stage to open the 2023/24 season. With a riveting, cinematic score and libretto by Gregg Kallor, The Creature is brought to life by Victor Frankenstein. Embracing Shelley's original text, Frankenstein gives poignant voice to The Creature's struggle and lays bare the horror of alienation and "otherness" with exquisite nuance. At the core of this heartbreaking tale lies an exquisitely wrought plea to look deeper within ourselves to find commonality and to uphold our responsibility to one another.

Charlie Parker's Yardbird

While the body of tormented saxophonist Charlie "Yardbird" Parker lies unidentified in a New York City morgue, his ghost travelsback to the famed NYC jazz club Birdland, where he struggles to complete his final masterpiece. Fusing classical and jazz styles into an intriguing mix, Charlie Parker's Yardbird is a powerful expedition into the mind, heart, and personal pergatory of the jazz genius.
