### Event Description: The Shining at Portland Opera

**Event Overview:**
Experience the chilling tale of "The Shining" at the Portland Opera, a gripping adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic novel. This opera, set in 1977, follows the Torrance family as they become winter caretakers of the remote Overlook Hotel.
