Lulled into a dreamlike state by The Dreamer, the audience follows their modern-day avatar The Lover into a surreal landscape brimming with riddles. On a mission for the conquest of a literal rose, The Lover meets The God of Love, Lady Reason, Shame, and their retinues – but as the fable unfolds, these allegorical figures begin to warp, revealing the fractured state of identity at the core of all human experience. Meanwhile, the music itself freely beguiles, charms, and terrifies with no moral allegiances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"....to leave the theater dazed by a new opera is one thing.
