Edward Tulane is a family-friendly opera based on the young adult novel of the same name by Kate DiCamillo. It follows the adventures of an aloof toy rabbit named Edward whose comfortable life in a loving household abruptly ends when he is thrown into the sea from the Queen Mary. Edward ventures to many places: He is adopted by a kindly fisherman and his wife, rides the rails with a drifter and his dog, provides solace to an ailing young girl and performs on the streets of Memphis. He finally opens his heart and finds his way back home. This opera will feature an ensemble cast, advanced puppetry and state-of-the-art projection design.
