Opera Festival - "Finding Home"

Artistic Director Chris Fecteau explains: “The theme of ‘Finding Home’ resonates through all three operas. Each protagonist, Ulisse, Mélisande, and Juana, is seeking safe haven among strangers and the freedom to live their own lives to the fullest. It is especially exciting to be presenting the premiere of Juana, a Spanish language opera which celebrates the life of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. Juana was Mexican nun famed for her intellect, her poetry and art. She challenged the Inquisition in defense of the women’s rights to education and equality. LatinX audiences will find in her a familiar heroine represented on the Mexican 100 Peso note!”
