Kafka’s Letter to His Father

Adapted from Franz Kafka’s searing letter to his father, this critically acclaimed opera transforms one of the 20th century’s most powerful literary documents into a gripping theatrical experience exploring authority, vulnerability, and identity. As the inaugural opera of Far Away, Here, CAP UCLA’s new international opera initiative, Kafka’s Letter to His Father directed by Shayna Penn launches a program dedicated to contemporary works that expand the possibilities of opera across cultures, disciplines and forms.
