CSUN OPERA
“The Juniper Tree” by Philip Glass
Shigemi Matsumoto Recital Hall
FOUR PERFORMANCES
Thursday – Friday – Saturday, April 16-18 at 7:30 PM, and Sunday April 19th at 2:30 PM
Dark, mesmerizing, and emotionally powerful, The Juniper Tree is the haunting operatic retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale by Philip Glass and Robert Moran— a story of jealousy, innocence, and transformation. Combining Glass’s minimalism language with Moran’s tonal, dramatically driven style, the opera weaves hypnotic rhythms and luminous vocal lines into a deeply human narrative that is at once unsettling and strangely beautiful.
This intimate chamber opera draws the audience inside a mythic world where cruelty and compassion collide, and where loss ultimately gives way to transcendence. With its stripped-down instrumentation and poetic storytelling, The Juniper Tree offers a gripping theatrical experience that feels both ancient and startlingly modern.
Presented in the intimate acoustics of Shigemi Matsumoto Recital Hall, this production invites audiences into a powerful and unforgettable journey through one of Philip Glass’s most haunting works.
