Opera Tampa Presents 'The Shining'
Opera Tampa, the resident company at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts, is set to present an adaptation of Stephen King's acclaimed novel, 'The Shining,' on January 30 and February 1. This opera, composed by Paul Moravec with a libretto by Mark Campbell, remains faithful to the original book rather than the famous film adaptation directed by Stanley Kubrick. The production will feature Virginia baritone Robert Wesley Mason as Jack Torrance and soprano Susan Hellman Spatafora as Wendy, immersing audiences in the chilling atmosphere of the Overlook Hotel.
Moravec emphasizes that while Kubrick's film is iconic, it diverges significantly from King's narrative, which explores themes of love, power, and madness. The opera aims to capture the emotional depth and character development present in the novel. Following its successful premiere in Minnesota in 2016, where it attracted a diverse audience including many first-time opera-goers, 'The Shining' promises to deliver a compelling theatrical experience that resonates with both fans of the book and newcomers alike.
