"mesmerizing ... as intriguing as it was beautiful ... a hit"
Calgary Herald / National Post
The dead tell their side of the story in this wildly dramatic re-imagining of an ancient Greek tale brought to you by Canada's masters of puppetry for adults.
Combining a haunting score by celebrated composer Veronika Krausas, and the fantastical visual universe of the internationally renowned Old Trout Puppet Workshop, Ghost Opera is a musical spectacle unlike anything you've seen before.
GHOST OPERA received generous development support from the Canada Council New Chapter Program and the National Creation Fund from National Arts Centre!
The World Premiere of this singing puppet extravaganza was held at the Banff Centre May 24, 2019.
