This April, Jane Austen’s world bursts into life with Mansfield Park, Jonathan Dove’s witty, romantic chamber opera. In celebration of Austen’s 250th birthday, we have partnered with the UGA Opera Theatre and the Hugh Hodgson School of Music to present this event under the open sky in our very own flower garden.
Follow the quietly brilliant Fanny Price as she navigates a tangle of romance, loyalty and mischief in this sparkling adaptation of Austen’s beloved novel. With Dove’s elegant four-hand piano score, an immersive, site-specific experience and the golden glow of a spring sunset, this will be Austen as you’ve never heard—or seen—before. Don’t miss this enchanting springtime journey—where music and nature intersect!
