SCARLET FEVER
by Collective Opera Company

What happens when a young woman shows up for her senior year of high school pregnantand a man? Such is the stuff of SCARLET FEVER, a new opera from Brooklyn-based Collective Opera Company. Taking Nathaniel Hawthornes iconic 19th century novel The Scarlet Letter as a starting point, SCARLET FEVER mines Americas long-held obsession with unorthodox pregnancy. Classical voices, romantic literature and tabloid headlines collide in this absurdist riff on parental identity.
