FREE PERFORMANCE (See below!)

Dorothy had the Yellow Brick Road. We have Marc Hoffeditz's surreal Midwest fever dream where storm chasers become prophets and tornadoes speak in tongues. This contemporary opera is equal parts magical realism, climate anxiety, and Great Plains mythology—a wild ride through the landscapes and stories that shape us. World premiere energy. Kansas weird. Unmissable.
