A snippet from the #Protectress #libretto. Arethusa sings:
I’m making a cleansing paste:
fennel and clay from Thebes,
filings from an old coin of Athens,
an eyelash from Hélène Cixous,
tears from the enslaved women
of Troy.
Blood from each of you gorgons,
an olive,
and pumice.
#Protectress #libretto #newopera #meetopera #mythology #medusa #myth #classics
Why are both #operas being performed at the #OperaAmerica conference by male composers & librettists? You talk representation and then don’t include women composers or librettists? What kind of representation is that? I’m tired of #Manels. #NewOpera #MeetOpera #ManelWatch

Today I’m working on the #libretto of Protectress, adapted from my novella of the same name, about #Medusa confronting rape culture in the 21st c. Composer Jessica Rudman and I can’t wait to bring this to the stage!

Join composer Tim Hinck, Holly Mulcahy, and me at what promises to be an amazing event with singers DelShawn Taylor and Darrin Hassevoort.
