American composer Philip Glass’s La Belle et la Bête (Beauty and the Beast) is a bold fusion of opera and film - a genre-defying concert augmentation of Jean Cocteau’s 1946 cinematic masterpiece.

In this production, Fort Worth Opera singers and musicians will perform Glass’s score live on stage, synchronized to the surrealist fairy tale projected behind them on the big screen. With expressive singers and a unique musical ensemble replacing the film’s original dialogue and soundtrack, the experience blurs the line between cinema and stage, delivering a one-of-a-kind experience.
