“The game’s afoot! A giant is dead, and his body lies at the base of a great beanstalk. The police believe young Jack is responsible. But the boy insists that he’s innocent, and begs the help of the great detective Sherlock Holmes and his colleague, Dr. Watson. Can they untangle this magical mystery? In this operatic mystery for all ages, Holmes turns to a magic harp for clues that come in the form of musical quotes from opera greats, all cleverly woven into the plot. This buoyant, inventive score is sure to have you on the edge of your seat. PSU’s production of ‘Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Fallen Giant’ is the second-ever presentation of this new opera.”
