Enchantress

Composed by Kamala Sankaram I Libretto by Rob Handel

THE FLEA THEATER
20 Thomas St, New York, NY 10007

John Blow’s opera, Venus and Adonis , explores and exploits the themes of power play, manipulation, and yearning. Venus’s reluctance to surrender coupled with Adonis’s innocence leads to both a tragic accident and poignant transcendence. The work was the first to have been written by a female librettist, Anne Finch.

ENCHANTRESS is a 20 minute opera about Ada Lovelace, the inventor of the first computer, originally written under the auspices of American Lyric Theater’s Composer/Librettist Development Program.
Ada Lovelace: Mezzo-soprano
William Lovelace: Tenor
Charles Babbage: Bass-baritone
