Join Guerilla Opera to re-watch BEOWULF with music and libretto by Hannah Lash, inspired by the ancient epic poem.

Commissioned and performed by Guerilla Opera in 2016, Beowulf, a chamber opera in two acts, is a modern-day adaptation of the well-known epic poem, in which Beowulf is a doctor caring for his elderly mother and suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress upon his return from a recent war. Beowulf investigates what it means to be a hero.

BEOWULF by Hannah Lash is used by arrangement with Schott Music Corporation, New York NY, publisher and copyright owner. Commissioned for and produced by Guerilla Opera in partnership with the Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Supported by an OPERA America Opera Grants for Female Composers Discovery Grant.
