A World Premiere by Sydney Chamber Opera. Is it Aphrodite’s fault that the beauty industry has never been more powerful?
Before she became the goddess of beauty as we know her today, Aphrodite was linked to fertility and the powerful miracle of life that comes from passionate pleasure. But over time, beauty and pleasure became fused with a new idea: that to be loved, one must be beautiful and to be the most beautiful means you are the most loved.
Directed by Alexander Berlage (American Psycho) and composed by Nico Muhly, this powerful new production stars two extraordinary voices: Jessica O’Donoghue (Gilgamesh, Fumeblind Oracle) and Puerto Rican soprano Meechot Marrero in her highly anticipated Australian debut.
“Sydney Chamber Opera never fails to be both thought provoking and excellent in its presentation of rich musical works.” – The Sydney Morning Herald
