During a Midsummer Eve celebration at a Swedish country estate, Miss Julie’s engagement to Niels ends after she orders him to kiss her boot. She flirts with the valet John, who admits his long-standing love and plans to escape with her. Julie steals money, but John kills her canary when she insists on bringing it. As John leaves to answer the Count’s summons, Julie goes into the garden and follows his suggestion to kill herself.
The Grass Harp tells the story of eccentric Southern spinster Dollyheart Talbo, her companion Catherine, and her nephew Collin, who flee their home and the clutches of Dolly's demanding sister Verena and her opportunistic boyfriend; even deciding to leave the house and live in a tree. They do this to protect Dolly's secret recipe for an elixir from Verena's greedy plans. Verena, driven by ambition, wants to exploit the recipe for riches and marriage.
This three-act English opera by Thomas Pasatieri is based on Anton Chekhov's 1896 play The Seagull.
