In this Spanish language opera, Dr. Rappaccini isolates his daughter Beatriz in an exotic garden overflowing with remarkable, but deadly, flowers. After glimpsing her beauty from his apartment window, a young medical student falls in love – but a dark secret threatens their romance. Rappaccini has been testing his toxic botanicals on Beatriz, and she has become poisonous to the touch.

In honor of the tale’s themes of botanical experimentation, the production will be filmed at the world-renowned Field Museum, known for its work in the natural sciences. The story is based on the play by Octavio Paz and short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
