AUGUST 2017 | WOLF TRAP OPERA

This Wolf Trap Opera premiere and new production was presented at The Barns at Wolf Trap in August 2017. The Juniper Tree was part of Glass@80, the worldwide celebrations of Philip Glass’ 80th birthday. Special thanks to Dan and Gayle D’Aniello, 2017 Wolf Trap Opera Season Underwriters, and Ed and Andy Smith, 2017 Performance Sponsors.

THE JUNIPER TREE
Music by Philip Glass & Robert Moran
Libretto by Arthur Yorinks

This take on the famous Grimm fairy tale is “charming and chilling, a children's opera for thinking children (also known as ‘adults’)” (The New York Times). It tells of a Wicked Stepmother who murders her stepson and serves him up in a stew to his unsuspecting father. The boy’s sister buries her brother’s bones under a Juniper Tree, and the child’s spirit returns as a singing bird who wreaks vengeance on the evil Stepmother before being restored to life in the bosom of his family.
