Glimmerglass Festival: The Jungle Book

Kamala Sankaram and Kelley Rourke’s retelling of The Jungle Book finally takes the stage with a new look at the story of Mowgli, a threatened human cub who seeks refuge from dangers of the jungle with a pack of wolves. Should the pack accept Mowgli, even if it means making an enemy of Shere Khan, the lawless tiger? A story of compassion, justice and forgiveness, this operatic version of The Jungle Book draws from Eastern and Western classical music traditions, featuring the Glimmerglass Youth Chorus and members of the Young Artists Program, with piano accompaniment.Performed in English.
Run Time: 70 minutes
The Jungle Book is made possible by generous support from Betsy and Ed Cohen, Ann Ziff, Arthur F. and Alice E. Adams Charitable Foundation, Howard & Sarah D. Solomon Foundation, Van Broughton Ramsey and Robert Nelson, The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, Inc., and The Amphion Foundation.*Youth Opera Ticket Initiative sponsored by Betsy and Ed Cohen.

 

The 2022 Festival features productions of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music, originally slated for the summer of 2020. Bizet’s Carmen takes the stage in a new production directed by 2022 Artist in Residence Denyce Graves, followed by the new work Tenor Overboard, weaving some of Rossini’s most spectacular music together in a new comic opera with a book by the famed playwright Ken Ludwig. The next installment of Common Ground, the Festival’s multi-year initiative of new, commissioned works, is a double bill of Kamala Sankaram and Jerre Dye’s Taking Up Serpents, paired with the world premiere one-act Holy Ground, by Damien Geter and Lila Palmer.
