The Atlanta Opera & Alliance Theatre: The Shining, September 2023

In planning this season, we wanted to prioritize partnerships. To link arms with visionary organizations both inside and outside of our artistic discipline. As always, we focused first on the local. We started talking and dreaming about possible partnerships that could properly celebrate the vibrant artistic life of this city we love so dearly. Early into this conversations we started talking about The Atlanta Opera. Their commitment to developing new work and breathing new life into classic work continues to inspire us to think differently about our own art form. The thought of these glorious voices filling the sculptural beauty of the Coca-Cola Stage was too much for the human heart. The prospect of partnering with them made us giddy with possibility. So when Tomer pitched an operatic version of Stephen King’s classic The Shining, our intrigue was uncontained. In his masterpiece, Stephen King gave us a pantheon of outsiders. Some are heroes but most are overwhelmed by one challenge or another. Jack Torrance faces insecurity and alcoholism, Stuart Ullman wrestles with greed and perfectionism; and even young Danny and Dick Halloran are outsiders because of their “shining.” As Stephen King explained, “Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.” We invite you into the world of The Shining

Everyone from The Atlanta Opera is pleased to be here on the Coca-Cola Stage and co-presenting this very special production with the Alliance. This partnership goes back many years to the 1980s when the Opera regularly staged our season in this wonderful theatre. Our creative, production, and sales teams have been working together for many months to bring The Shining to you in a collaboration that has been exciting and energizing in so many ways.

The three shows that The Atlanta Opera presents this fall as the Thriller Three, feature characters that are horrifically flawed, yet deeply human. Rigoletto (Nov 4-12) the tortured jester, the creature in Frankenstein (Oct 28), and Jack Torrance from The Shining (Sep 15-Oct 1) are all too human, profoundly real and lonely as they can be. Even if they have a daughter as Rigoletto does, or a son like Jack Torrance, they are alone in this world and their anxiety is real. They struggle with their inner demons: depression, alcoholism, mental health, or a debilitating fear. Sometimes they win, more often they lose, but that’s what makes these stories timeless and thoroughly human. That’s why we are so thrilled to share them with you.

Enjoy The Shining. Enjoy the Atlanta Opera on the Alliance Theatre’s Coca-Cola Stage!

Synopsis

COURTESY

Minnesota Opera

ACT I: In and around the Overlook Hotel, Colorado, late September to November, 1975.

Jack Torrance has been engaged as winter caretaker for the Overlook Hotel in a remote part of the Colorado Rockies. He arrives there with his wife, Wendy, and son, Danny, during the last weekend of September, at the end of the hotel’s season. Wendy and Jack welcome the change the hotel will bring to their lives, believing that the experience will bring the family closer together; Jack is also happy that he’ll finally have time to finish his play. The general manager, Stuart Ullman, gives the Torrances a tour of the hotel and touts the history of its famous guests. The family is then introduced to the hotel cook, Dick Hallorann, who shows Wendy and Danny to the kitchen.

Ullman privately expresses his concerns about Jack’s personal history, which he has learned includes physical abuse and alcoholism. Jack reassures Ullman that he has conquered his problems and that all will be fine. Bill Watson takes Jack to the basement where he instructs him on the boiler and tells some stories about the hotel’s nefarious past: a previous caretaker, Delbert Grady, killed his wife and two daughters before taking his own life; another guest, Mrs. Massey, committed suicide in a bathtub after her young lover abandoned her.

At the same time outside the hotel, Hallorann confides in Danny that he senses the boy shares a second sight, the “shining,” that Hallorann’s grandmother detected in him as a child. He also tells Danny that fears about the hotel can be controlled—but encourages Danny to call out to him if the Torrance family is in danger. Ullman, Watson, and Hallorann bid the Torrances farewell, leaving the family alone on the porch of the Overlook.

One evening several weeks later, Wendy reads Treasure Island to Danny while Jack works on his play. As Danny leaves to brush his teeth before being tucked in, the couple affirms their love for each other. Danny is trapped in the bathroom and once he escapes, appears traumatized, claiming to have had dark visions. Jack tries to shake Danny out of it, but Wendy stops him, revealing

that Jack once injured the child. She vows to take Danny to the doctor in town the following day for a check-up. As she tucks Danny in and sings him a lullaby, Jack recalls his own childhood abuse at the hands of his father, Mark. Danny utters a curious message—“redrum”—which Wendy dismisses as a reference to Treasure Island.

Jack sifts through boxes of memorabilia in the basement a week or so later, finding a scrapbook assembled by “The Manager.” He learns more about the Overlook’s infamous past, including Horace Derwent’s sale of the hotel to the Mafia and a subsequent “hit” that occurred there years later. He also reads about the tragedies of the Grady family and Mrs. Massey. An invitation to a New Year’s Eve masked ball drops from the scrapbook and ignites Jack’s imagination. He vows to tell the hotel’s story. Wendy and Danny return from the doctor where Danny has received a clean bill of health. Disturbed about Jack’s obsession with the Overlook, Wendy requests that they all leave immediately, but Jack dismisses the idea.

The first week of November.

Wendy is awakened by strange noises and Danny runs into his parents’ bedroom in a panic. Jack checks the elevator, then the ballroom, where he momentarily hears people and finds a dog mask and a giant croquet mallet. He is shaken, but composes himself, returning to their room to reassure Wendy, who still believes they should leave the hotel.

Danny has approached Room 217 several times in the past weeks, and now, in late November, finally enters it with a key. In the hotel office, a ranger on the CB radio warns Jack of an upcoming blizzard. Suddenly, the ranger’s voice becomes that of his father Mark, telling Jack to kill his family. Jack smashes the radio with the mallet. Wendy rushes in and is horrified to learn that Jack has destroyed their only contact with the outside world. Danny is found with his clothes wet, bruises around his neck, and lipstick marks on his face. As Jack rallies to protect his family, the evil influence of the hotel roars to life, and all of its ghosts appear, including Delbert Grady, Mrs. Massey, Horace Derwent, and the guests of the New Year’s Eve party. Danny cries out for Hallorann as a light snow begins to fall.

ACT II: One day in early December.

Jack returns to the basement for the boiler’s daily maintenance. Grady appears and encourages Jack to apply the same discipline to his son that Grady meted

out to his daughters. He then invites Jack to join him for the masked ball. Upstairs, Danny warns his mother that “they” have gotten to his father. Wendy tries to mitigate his fears, but once Danny is alone, he again calls out for Hallorann. Jack enters the ballroom where the masked ball is in full swing and orders drinks from Lloyd, the bartender. Onstage, Horace Derwent, Grady, and Lloyd raise their voices in song, soon joined by Mark Torrance and then Jack, before he collapses and the party dissolves. Finding her husband sprawled on the floor, Wendy tries to help him upstairs. When he attempts to strangle her, she renders him unconscious by smashing a bottle over his head, and she and Danny lock him inside the pantry. When Jack comes to and demands to be released, Wendy leaves the kitchen with Danny, taking a large knife with her. Grady enters and helps Jack free himself from the pantry.

Upstairs in the caretaker’s quarters, Wendy tries to assuage her son’s fears before returning to the kitchen for food. She sees ghosts in the ballroom, but convinces herself they are not real. Jack suddenly attacks her with the mallet. Wendy plunges the knife into his back and runs back to the quarters, locking the door. Jack follows her and almost breaks through the door, when Wendy slices his hands with razors she has retrieved from the bathroom. Grady and Derwent appear to Jack, telling him to dispose of Wendy later, as Hallorann is suddenly approaching the hotel on a Snowcat and must be attended to.

Hallorann enters the hotel. Danny runs toward Hallorann, attempting to warn him, but Jack strikes Hallorann with his mallet, rendering him unconscious. Jack corners Danny, but Danny bravely stands up to him, saying, “You are not my father.” Returning momentarily to his senses, Jack begs Danny to run, allowing him to escape. Derwent, Grady, and Lloyd appear, castigating Jack for his failure and warning him that the boiler is about to explode.

Epilogue

A hotel in Maine; eight months later. Wendy and Danny are staying in a cabin at a hotel in Maine where Hallorann now works as a cook. On his break, Hallorann checks up on Wendy and Danny. While Danny fishes from a pond and his mother looks on, Hallorann urges the boy to be strong and get on with his life and help his mother, despite the tragedy that has befallen them.

The Shining— The Original Hotel California

WRITTEN BY Brian Staufenbiel

To all appearances, The Shining’s Overlook Hotel is, like the Hotel California of song, “a lovely place.” But appearances in this story are deceiving. The Overlook harbors an illusory realm of terror within its cracked lath and plaster; horrific stories of murder and intrigue permeate its every fissure. The Overlook itself is a kind of character in our production, one whose ghostly inhabitants goad Jack Torrance to murder his son Danny so they can abscond with the boy’s powerful extrasensory abilities—a gift grandmother called “the shining”—a kind of hyper-charged clairvoyance that allows Danny to hear other people’s thoughts and communicate with the dead.

One of the great joys of creating a concept for this new production of The Shining was how deeply I could dive into the philosophical and aesthetic battle that

Brian Staufenbiel

takes place at the heart of the story. How often do we encounter an opera, where two disparate aesthetics and philosophies make up the essence of the drama on stage? The Shining is that opera, and it inspired us to stretch our imaginations to explore the human condition by contrasting the aesthetics of realism against surrealism, along with their corresponding philosophies, naturalism and supernaturalism. Opera Parallèle’s design team focused on this juxtaposition and let it guide and delineate the multifaceted relationships with music, settings, and characters throughout the production.

In the scenes ruled by naturalism, nothing exists beyond the natural world. Here the hotel is just a hotel. In this aesthetic of realism, Jack, Wendy, Danny, and Halloran are ordinary living people—objective, accurate depictions of what seems to be. What you see on the surface is, simply, what is.

But then there is supernaturalism, which encompasses otherworldly realms and things that cannot be explained. In these scenes the Overlook comes alive with evil spirits that pursue our protagonists. The building itself seems to have a heartbeat and flows with blood. Even its structural supports can move. This aesthetic, surrealism, is thick with dreamlike visuals, symbolism, and hints of the unconscious.

In the end, this is a story about good and evil in which Jack must summon the deepest love and make the ultimate sacrifice to put an end to a cycle of generational abuse and save his family. For him, as the song has it, you can check out, but you can never leave.

THE IMAGINE CAMPAIGN

Coming soon to Peachtree Street: THE GOIZUETA STAGE FOR YOUTH AND FAMILIES

IMAGINE a state-of-the-art performance space built specifically to deliver the best professional theatre for young audiences this country has to offer.

IMAGINE year-round access to transformative arts experiences empirically proven to improve mental health, literacy, and hope for their own future.

IMAGINE theatre as a birthright for children of all ages and economic backgrounds in our city, across the state, and around the world.

AND JOIN US IN MAKING IT A REALITY. Over the next two years, the Woodruff Arts Center will transform the existing Rich Theatre into Atlanta’s year-round venue for youth and family programming. As a crucial component of this project, the Alliance Theatre is proud to launch The Imagine Endowment, a special $10 million fund providing access subsidies for audiences of all backgrounds and vital resources to equip and maintain Atlanta’s new home for youth, educators, and caregivers in perpetuity. With your help, geography and ticket prices will never be attendance barriers for the bright, empathetic, and creative audiences of tomorrow. Together, we can accomplish this joyful mission.

Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for the Alliance Theatre and its mission, while accommodating your financial, estate planning and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful and lasting contribution to the Alliance Theatre.
