Everest: Opera in the Planetarium
Enter Morrison Planetarium and be enveloped in the majesty and peril of the world’s highest mountain.
Interested in a cutting-edge, wilderness-adventure take on opera? Everest, the internationally renowned graphic novel opera composed by Joby Talbot with a libretto by Gene Scheer, will be presented in a bold new iteration inside the Academy's Morrison Planetarium on select dates between Nov. 8–17.* With acclaimed tenor Nathan Granner and mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke leading the cast, this production promises to be a spectacular fusion of art and technology.
*This is not a live opera, but an immersive operatic experience. Cast and conductor not appearing live.
