This haunting opera is an atmospheric combination of a detective mystery and a ghost story about the disappearance of three lighthouse keepers, mixing courtoom testimony and fantastical flashbacks. Three officers from a lighthouse ship report to a Court of Enquiry how they arrived to relieve the three keepers and found the place deserted. In flashbacks to the keepers, they are nervous and pass the time by singing songs...Out of the fog, their past emerges to taunt them. Opening performances in the Aquarium's new cutting-edge, high-definition technology space with a breathtaking 32-foot-tall, 180-degree arc projection wall.
