Rappaccini's Daughter at Opera Columbus

Rappaccini’s Daughter (1992) was composed by Daniel Catán and adapted from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s haunting short story, Rappaccini’s Daughter is set in the mysterious city of Padua. It follows Dr. Rappaccini, a brilliant but secretive botanist who raises his daughter, Beatriz, in a secluded garden teeming with toxic plants, rendering her own touch lethal. When Giovanni, a curious young student, encounters Beatriz, he is drawn into a perilous romance marked by obsession, forbidden knowledge, and the dangerous consequences of scientific ambition.
