ALICE, An Operatic Wonderland is a fresh and relevant re-imagination of Lewis Carroll's beloved book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In this full-length family opera, Alice's journey down the rabbit hole is a journey of self-realization that in a world of constant judgment, ridicule, and uncertainty, she is "enough."

This nonsensical, heartwarming, coming-of-age, operatic adventure invites audiences into a wildly imaginative world of self-discovery. Composer, Amy Scurria, brilliantly weaves a wonderland of musical genres to take audiences on a dramatic journey of musical discovery. From Gregorian Chant, Eastern European folk music, American Rag, Mozartian Waltz, to lush sweeping melodies that can only be described as Scurria's voice, there is something for every listener.

A comedic opera in 2 acts

Duration - approx. 2 hours
