Opera Parallèle is proud to present the world premiere of The Pigeon Keeper, composed by David Hanlon with a libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann. This new work promises to enthrall with its compelling narrative and stunning musical composition. Staged in ten scenes, the poignant story is set in a seaside village, where young Orsia discovers an unspeaking refugee boy. Determined to find him a home, she encounters the Pigeon Keeper, an outsider. In opening his heart to the refugee boy, the Pigeon Keeper frees the child’s voice and a family's sorrow becomes healed. This magical new work explores themes of otherness, belonging, connection, and home.
