Brooklyn Repertory Opera is pleased to present Susan Stoderl's The Veil of Forgetfulness, a 21st century mystical opera in two acts, for eight women's voices, chamber orchestra, chorus, and a real-time art installation by Sarah Olson who will depict the inner thoughts of the characters (www.Sarah-Olson.com). Susan Stoderl is the composer as well as the conductor (www.SusanStoderl.net) and Laura Josepher will provide stage direction. The Veil of Forgetfulness is set In medieval Britain where Sister Regina is determined to become Abbess of Shaftesbury. As time grows short, little does Regina know that she will be forced to choose between saving Abbess Marie and her mystical band of heretics or fulfilling her quest for power. As the music moves from the mysterious and hypnotic to joyous and soaring, Lay Sister Sarah depicts the inner workings of this cloistered community. Note: Depression-special tickets for the unemployed may be purchased for $5 by anyone presenting a current unemployment insurance check stub at the box office on the day of the performance (limit one ticket per purchaser).
