WORLD PREMIERE
The dead tell their side of the story in this wildly dramatic reimagining 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.
