Robert Wesley "Wes" Mason, who stars in the opera rendition of "The Shining," cautions audiences that the operatic version, staged from March 15-23 at Newmark Theatre, should not be compared to Stanley Kubrick's iconic 1977 film starring Jack Nicholson. This collaboration between Portland Opera, Opera Parallèle, and Hawai'i Opera aims to reinterpret Stephen King's original novel, exploring its themes through a different artistic lens, ensuring a unique experience that diverges from the cinematic classic.
Robert Wesley "Wes" Mason, star of the opera adaptation, warns that the opera "The Shining" differs significantly from Stanley Kubrick's 1977 film. The essence of the opera is unique.
Mason emphasizes that comparing the opera to the Kubrick movie is a misstep, as the project aims to capture different emotional and theatrical elements reflective of its operatic form.
