In this operatic adaptation of Henry James’ 1898 spine-tingling novella, a young governess is hired to care for Miles and Flora, two orphaned children with an unsettled upbringing. Upon arrival at the remote English estate, the governess is met with the mysterious presence of two ghosts whom she believes are influencing the children. As the lines blur between reality and the supernatural, she embarks on a mission to protect them from these sinister forces that ultimately end in tragedy.  Enter the world of Bly Manor…if you dare!
