A Musical Odyssey with Hawai'i Opera Theatre: From Alice Chung to the Fiery Carmen

The King of Mars has a fascination with all things human and a desire for a new Earthling queen. His search is made more enticing with the capture of Mosquito, who was captured along with the Professor on an expedition from Earth to explore the red planet. The Riot Grrrl, coming to rescue her beloved Mosquito, crash-lands and is also captured. Is she the human bride the King craves, or will her disruptive Riot ways spell the end to his rule over the Martians?

KAMALEHUA: THE SHELTERING TREE tells the true story of Timoteo Haʻalilio, Royal Secretary and lifelong friend to King Kamehameha III.  Set in the mid-nineteenth century, the opera reveals the little-known history of the Hawaiian Kingdom and its early struggles to maintain independence. The focus is Haʻalilio's 1842-45 mission to the United States, Great Britain, Belgium, and France to secure treaties recognizing Hawaiʻi as a sovereign nation with the goal of protecting the kingdom from annexation by foreigners. Haʻalilio was accompanied by the Reverend William Richards, a trusted advisor and friend to both Haʻalilio and King Kamehameha III.
