His lithe, athletic frame slipped

About 600 people cheered

Enter Ophelia
In a world of mad men and murdering uncles, Ophelia
wanders an empty castle, clutching rotting flowers - told
what to do, where to stand, what to think. No one really
listens to her, no one really sees her.
Enter Ophelia is a darkly funny gothic riff centering
Shakespeare’s iconic drowned damsel into the spotlight of
Denmark, where Ophelia must question and navigate the
darkest corners and secrets of her world in order to take
charge of her own fate.
Enter Ophelia promises to be a dark and thrilling exploration
of femininity, isolation and silliness. Be lured into the
heightened and absurd world of Shakespeare’s Denmark.

to see why, with its vivacious rhythms and
hummable melodies. Then, Vivaldi provides an
extra dose of violin in his Concerto completing
an evening both elegant and exhilarating.
