about

Charles Wuorinen brings Salman Rushdie’s children’s novel to life with musical wit. Soprano Heather Buck rejoins BMOP as the titular Haroun on a fantastical adventure in a make-believe world, based loosely on Bombay and Kashmir. Haroun must stop the Ocean of the Sea of Stories from being polluted to save his father, Rashid (Stephen Bryant), from the wrath of evil politician Snooty Buttoo (Matthew DiBattista). Along the way Haroun meets fanciful imagined creatures, all sung by some of the best singers Boston and the US have to offer. This all-star cast, James Fenton’s cleverly adapted libretto, and Wuorinen’s intricate score offer a musical delight on BMOP/sound’s world premiere recording of Haroun and the Sea of Stories.
