The Selfish Giant: The Selfish Giant Bruckard

THE SELFISH GIANT: Cassandra Bruckard

Oscar Wilde’s charming short story, The Selfish Giant, has enchanted young readers since it was first published in 1888.
After a cantankerous Giant banishes children from playing in his garden, he experiences the chill of perpetual Winter. When children sneakily return, so does the beauty and joyfulness of Spring, teaching the Giant to open his heart generously in order to enjoy life’s riches.

Premiered in 2019, this Green Room Award-winning adaptation comes from the creative genius of two of Victorian Opera’s former Developing Artists: composer Simon Bruckard (Cassandra) and librettist Emma Muir-Smith.

The Selfish Giant by Bruckard, Fri 27 May 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Cameron Menzies,, Conductor Simon Bruckard, Arts Centre Melbourne, Southbank, Australia
