About the event

Curlew River
A woman driven mad by the mystery of her lost son learns of her boy’s unfortunate fate from a chance encounter with a Ferryman while crossing a river.

Based on the Japanese Noh play Sumidigawa River, composer Benjamin Britten's Curlew River retells this story as a Christian parable. Written in the style of monastic plain song and laden with musical symbolism, this piece artfully melds theatrical simplicity with ecumenical grandeur.

In keeping with these themes and this opera’s history, Curlew River will be staged at Calvary Episcopal Church in Shadyside.
