DalOpera’s Little Women
Four sisters, one soul.
Music & Libretto by Mark Adamo
Directed by Roberta Barker, with music direction by Cindy Townsend, Dalhousie’s Fountain School proudly announces our 2025 Opera production featuring a wonderful ensemble of voice students.
Mark Adamo’s operatic adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel explores the profound changes that transform the life of its heroine, Jo – and of all human beings. As in the original novel, Jo’s fierce love for her sisters remains paramount. Yet she must ultimately accept that even the sincerest love and the strongest will cannot prevent change, stave off loss, or keep adulthood—with its cares and joys—from arriving.
