Marking its world staged premiere, Joseph Summer’s The Tempest brings Shakespeare’s final masterpiece to the operatic stage with vivid imagination and emotional depth. The opera—set to a libretto by the composer’s daughter, Eve Summer—transforms the tale of exile, forgiveness, and renewal into a richly layered musical world. Summer’s tonal yet adventurous score brims with ensemble writing of exceptional beauty, from tender duets to exuberant finales, offering a contemporary voice deeply attuned to Shakespeare’s spirit.
