Summary
This award winning Off Broadway hit from the composer/lyricist of Honky Tonk Highway is magical, delightful, poignant and poetic. It tells the story of a seven year old aristocratic girl who is orphaned in a shipwreck and placed in an Oregon lumber camp in 1904. Her one desire is to find the secret way to return to her parents and her former life. To survive, she creates a world of fantasy and enchantment. The magic of her extraordinary imagination transforms the lives of those around her the shy lumberjack, the blind girl and her embittered foster mother. Finally, in the ashes of a devastating forest fire, Opal discovers hope and home.
History
Opal premiered in New York City at the Lamb's Theatre in March of 1992 under the direction of Scott Harris.
