ABOUT THE OPERA
There are stories that cry out to be told: to celebrate, to condemn, to connect. Anna and Joseph have just such a story to tell…if only this time they can get it right, finally. Inspired by the oral tradition of fairy tales and the archetypes they explore, The End: A Fairytale, brings to life a retelling of The Grimm Brothers’ “The Robber Bridegroom.”
