In A Grove is an opera in two parts; music by Christopher Cerrone, libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann. The opera is based on the classic short story, Rashōmon, by Japanese author, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, which was adapted into a celebrated 1950 psychological thriller-crime film by legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa.

The opera is set within a mountainous ghost forest in the Pacific Northwest in 1921, unfolding within a barren, haunted landscape devastated by wildfire. The audience is a silent, unseen interlocutor, gathering testimony from seven witnesses and potential perpetrators of a crime. It’s a story about shifting perspectives on a single criminal act.
