Malmö Opera will stage the horror classic "The Shining" next fall. The director is British Keith Warner, whose goal is for the audience to be so scared that they will feel "spiritually cleansed afterward," writes Sydsvenskan.
Stephen King's novel about the man who is assigned to manage a seasonally closed hotel over the winter became a popular culture classic through Stanley Kubrick's film starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall in two of the lead roles.
In 2016, "The Shining" became an opera in Minnesota and on August 22 next year it will have its Scandinavian premiere in Malmö.
