"Dark Sisters" by Nico Muhly

  • Lincoln Performance Hall, Portland, OR (map)

singing the role of Presendia in the chamber opera by Nico Muhly, with Orpheus PDX

Dark Sisters is a story of resilience, survival, and ultimately of hope, as seen through the eyes of one extraordinary woman. Living within the confines of a polygamist, patriarchal cult, the opera follows the journey of Eliza, a sister-wife who questions what she has been taught and emerges as a singular voice, one who is no longer content to be one of many. This haunting work by Nico Muhly, one of America’s most popular and prolific composers, charts one woman’s quest for self-discovery in a world where personal identity is forbidden.
