With Christopher Alden - stage director and Lidiya Yankovskaya - conductor. Premiere with Trinity NOVUS at St. Paul's Chapel, Time's Arrow Festival. Artemisia brings these paintings to life, in an opera that Paul Chihara calls “a masterpiece!" Featuring Heather Buck, Augusta Caso as Artemisia Gentileschi and Richard Troxell as Tommaso. March 7/9, 2019. St. Paul's Chapel, Trinity NOVUS NY [orchestral world premiere), and Jun 1/2 Z Space, San Francisco [chamber premiere] LeftCoast Proves Great Opera Needn’t Be Grand, “Artemisia is sumptuous on every level……a breathtaking piece.” OperaWire “..casts its spell..awakens us...riveting” In NY Times review “Artemisia” lasts just 80 minutes, but fits in big themes set to music of quivering intensity. The story of the rape is there, blended with Gentileschi’s unbearably compassionate painting of the biblical character Susanna, who was ogled and shamed in her bath. But larger questions of idea and form, image and projection, sight and gaze also find nuanced and intelligent treatment.
