Based on Stephen King’s spine-chilling novel, The Shining comes to the Ellie Caulkins stage as an opera, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell.

Little do they know that the isolation and the hotel’s corrupting spirits will spark an inevitable descent into madness.
