Performer: Opera Philadelphia Orchestra

Opera Philadelphia commissions ten composers to tell the story of an ordinary woman's idiosyncratic march from cradle to tomb.

Conceived by Anthony Roth Costanzo and Sarah Ruhl, this high-handed pasticcio sets the climate crisis to a soundtrack of Vivaldi.

The intrepid company brings Damiano Michieletto’s well-traveled production of a Rossini rarity to the US for the first time.
