Desperate. Passionate. Trapped. Dolores Claiborne is willing to do whatever it takes to save herself and her daughter—even if that means taking a life.
One of the most compelling characters to emerge from the imagination of Stephen King, the feisty Maine housekeeper is a natural fit for opera—and specifically for the dark theatricality of American composer Tobias Picker, who "embraces opera as a populist art form" and "does so with undeniable skill" (The New York Times).
Hailed at its premiere by Opera News as "a significant new work...a triumph for all concerned," the impact of Stephen King's psychodrama is heightened in this intimate new adaptation of Tobias Picker's opera.
New York City Opera Principal Conductor Pacien Mazzagatti leads the production.
