The Garden of Alice is a magical, operatic film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, sung in English, from Pacific Opera Victoria.
Lewis Carroll’s famous tale shifts to a new perspective, where we meet Alice as an elderly woman in hospital reflecting back on her vivid adventures in a dream-like haze.
As Alice’s hospital attendants care for her, they transform into the beloved, sketchy, and sometimes wicked characters from ‘down the rabbit hole’, and Alice awakens to discover her life’s meaning, through this enchanted lens.
This stylized cinematic and musical experience is a first for Pacific Opera.
