“No matter how far away they go, they always fly home.”
As part of the Family Opera Series, The Pigeon Keeper, a mystical new opera welcomes opera goers of every age to The Rose Theater.
On an island in the Mediterranean, a fisherman and his daughter pull a boy like a fish from the sea. Who is this child? Why won’t he speak? How will they find him a home?
Told through cinematic projections, moving music, and children’s chorus, this contemporary fable invites audiences from every generation to celebrate the kindness of strangers and the unexpected places we find family.
