Chamber opera The World’s Wife is based on an anthology of poems by Carol Ann Duffy and reflects on collective stories, historical events and myths, told from an altered, female perspective. Inspired by Duffy’s poems, composer Tom W. Green wrote a chamber opera for singer, string quartet and looping station.
Throughout the opera, different female characters take the stage, both historical and mythological, ranging from the sexually awakened little-red cap to the motherly Queen Herod. By way of response, Green’s composition contains music from past female composers who were sometimes unduly ignored, such as Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn.
Ragazze Quartet and Dutch opera director Jorinde Keesmaat created a witty feminist opera in a fully staged version.
The opera will play on:
18 November 2023 in Utrecht (The Netherlands)
11 January 2023 in Amsterdam (The Netherlands)
