Template:Short description Template:Italic title Freshwater is a two-act chamber opera composed by Andy Vores, based on the 1935 comic play by Virginia Woolf.[1] Vores received assistance in creating the opera from Quentin Bell, Woolf's nephew and executor, who provided a rarely seen earlier version of the text that served as the inspiration for several passages of the libretto.[2]
Freshwater was commissioned by the Boston University Opera Institute and had its world premiere on December 2, 1994 at the Huntington Theatre in Boston.[2]
