About this event

“Vividly immersive thriller!” raved the New York Times about the 60-minute, outdoor experience In A Grove. During this can’t-miss event, speakers hidden in the trees provide nature’s surround sound as audiences enter the grove during this operatic adaptation of Akutagawa’s classic short story — which offers a searing investigation into the impossibility and elusiveness of truth. This exciting site-specific electronic opera was composed by Chris Cerrone with libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann and will be held at the Ferndell Pavilion in Spa State Park. Film buffs might recognize the story from Kurosawa’s renowned Rashomon. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to OperaSaratoga dot org.
