An original opera by composer Paola Prestini, librettist Royce Vavrek, and director Karmina Šilec, Old Man and the Sea is inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s eponymous novella and creates a new fable about the desire to leave a legacy and the resilience of the human body and spirit. Old Man and the Sea imagines a world where a cast of six women and a 30-person choir become the guardians of the world’s culture, weaving their fables and memories into fishing nets to preserve them for future generations.
