The Dolls of New Albion, A Steampunk Opera @ Asheville Performing Arts Academy
April 16 @ 7:30 pm - April 26 @ 4:30 pm
$25
The Dolls of New Albion is a haunting musical journey through a fantastical city where love, loss, and invention collide.
Told across four generations of the McAlistair family, this cult-favorite steampunk opera blends rich storytelling with atmospheric melodies, gothic whimsy, and a timeless sense of wonder. As alchemy and machinery breathe life into clockwork dolls, New Albion’s secrets unfold in a sweeping tale of ambition and consequences. Lyrical, quirky, and beautifully theatrical, this show invites audiences into a world where magic meets machinery—and every creation comes with a heartbeat.
