"Robin Hood"

Continuing Glimmerglass’s proud tradition of sharing opera for and with young people, the 2026 season will feature a new production of Robin Hood, which Francesca Zambello commissioned for the Festival and directed in 2017. When the law of the land is corrupt, what’s an honest citizen to do? In the absence of the King, the Sheriff has seized the country’s assets for himself and his cronies. Robin Hood is the unlikely leader of a band of ordinary folks doing their best to survive in the forest until just rule returns to the land. This season, Robin Hood will take the mainstage at the Alice Busch Opera Theater, giving local youth performers the opportunity to collaborate with Festival artists and creative teams. Thanks to generous sponsorship, tickets to the youth opera are free for children 12 and under.


Music by Ben Moore
Libretto by Kelley Rourke

Presented in English with English projected titles
Approx. Running Time: 1 hour (no intermission)

Conductor | Kimberley-Ann Bartczak
Director | Eric Sean Fogel
