a play by Terry Quinn

directed by Kira Simring

A faltering marriage compels a husband and wife to make a pact — to confess searing truths in the heat of passion.
The exposure leads to a confrontation with four of their friends, and even deeper revelations.

Henry has lost it. Jude is searching for it. A reading of Blue Skies, a new play by Nancy Manocherian, explores identity through a family in crises and the unhinged mess its members encounter when their basic beliefs are thrown into question.

Music and Libretto by Susan Hurley

based on the original manuscript by Barbara Kraft

Directed by Kira Simring

Charlotte Kohn, soprano

Daniel Neer, baritone

Inspired by the life and writings of the noted diarist Anaïs Nin, this opera is a psychological drama of obsessive love during the last minutes of life. Anaïs attempts to come to terms with her impending death in the presence of her lover and long-time companion, Rupert Pole. In what amounts to a test of his devotion, she seeks his understanding but also clearly enjoys shocking him as she revisits and reveals some of the strongest memories of her life, her innumerable infidelities, incestuous relations and her violent rejection of motherhood. Rupert is unable to forgive Anaïs for these dark secrets before she struggles out of bed and then collapses, alone, to the floor.

$20

includes post-performance wine reception
