Two judges desire the beautiful Susanna. When she rejects their advances, they exploit their power in an attempt to destroy her. An iconic Bible story of sexual harassment and the perversion of justice (originally conceived with a male narrator and male savior), Stradella’s seductive 1681 oratorio becomes a startlingly powerful opera for 2019, with women as both storyteller and whistleblower.
Heartbeat Opera, dedicated to re-imagining opera for today’s audiences, and Opera Lafayette, renowned for breathing new life into rediscovered masterpieces, bring together their passions and expertise for this premiere American staging.
A co-production of Heartbeat Opera and Opera Lafayette/North America premiere
