Opera in Two Acts

Based on the novel by Stephen King

The Shining, an opera in two acts by Paul Moravec with libretto by Mark Campbell, brings Stephen King’s iconic novel to the stage in a gripping, emotionally resonant adaptation. Scored for full orchestra, soloists, and chorus, the opera traces Jack Torrance’s psychological unraveling in the haunted Overlook Hotel. Moravec’s cinematic orchestration and Campbell’s emotionally taut libretto transform a story of supernatural horror into a moving meditation on madness, memory, and redemption.
