About The Shining

Introducing … The Shining, a new, critically acclaimed opera written by composer Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell, which is directly based on celebrated author Stephen King’s 1977 best-selling novel.

Called “…impressively creative [and] maximally effective, (OperaNews),” The Shining was commissioned by the Minnesota Opera as part of its New Works Initiative. The two-act, full evening opera premiered in May 2016 to sold-out audiences at The Ordway Center for Performing Arts (St. Paul, MN). The production featured staging by Eric Simonson and was conducted by music director Michael Christie.

Additional Creative Team:
Heidi Spesard-Noble – Choreographer
Gerhard Rom – Scenic and Properties Designer
59 Productions – Animation and Projections

“…[The Shining is] a hell of a ride…‘Is it scary?’ It is [and] it’s truly terrifying.”
