Hops - Scene 2

DRAMA! The Wise Woman has murdered the lout Camille! But Besse thinks she did it. 

She only sent him mad with a herb to gain the control of the inn! 

That’s fair, we guess… The law in 1438 AD was quite against women and specially brewsters…

To even complicate more the situation, the Inquisitor has just investigated the Plague massacre at Besse’s inn* and dispatched a Witch Hunt. Who would imagine the herb would be left in the tankard! Dahhh…

* That happened in the opera RYE. To know more about those events follow Infinite Opera and go to their productions.

Besse is a mini-series of short operas centred about the figure of a female brewer (or brewster) in the XIV century.

Witchcraft and science, tails and tales, and -of course- a lot of beer!

Created by Infinite Opera in collaboration with Digbrew and Grand Union, Besse, for the first time, merges the worlds of opera and beer through the unique vision of a character that champions feminism through fermentation.
