This “sung ballet” brings the worlds of voice, dance, and orchestra together as the audience follows Anna on a journey across the United States while she tries to make enough money to build her family a home. Torn between her moral compass and the need for income, Anna splits into two: Anna I holds the moral line, while Anna II tries to follow her heart.
The National Orchestral Institute + Festival (NOI+F) brings together aspiring orchestral musicians from across the country for a month of professional musical experiences. Wolf Trap Opera’s (WTO) partnership with NOI+F is built on collaborative performances between their talented musicians and WTO’s emerging opera singers.
