This is a FREE event with access to Amanda Feery and Megan Nolan's new opera A Thing I Cannot Name plus a live discussion with the director and composer.
About the filmed opera: Three women. All different. Connected only by the intensity of their wildly dissimilar desires.
Unrequited love for an aloof, narcissistic older woman . . . an obsession with a partner’s former lover, intense enough to verge into the erotic . . . a yearning to bear a child, to create a companion, and break out of a painful seclusion.
Through their letters, their voices join each other across time, in an attempt to give name to their desires.
Suitable for ages 14+. Sung in English with English subtitles. Duration: 20 min.
