The Hours returns to the stage this May after its acclaimed sold-out run last season. A stunning adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, The Hours follows three women across different decades who are all impacted by Virginia Woolf’s classic novel Mrs. Dalloway. The opera adaptation further heightens the haunting parallel stories of Cunningham’s novel with a libretto by Greg Pierce that “artfully brings the women into even closer proximity” (Zachary Wolf, The New York Times). Cunningham and Pierce join The Center for Fiction for a conversation about the process of adapting the book for the opera.
