Witness Heartbeat Opera and Opera Lafayette's rediscovery of the Baroque gem LA SUSANNA.

Two judges desire the beautiful Susanna. When she rejects their advances, they exploit their power in an attempt to destroy her. It’s the Bible’s iconic story of sexual harassment and the perversion of justice. Originally conceived with a male narrator and male savior, Alessandro Stradella’s seductive oratorio from 1681 becomes a startlingly powerful opera for 2019, with women as both storyteller and whistleblower. Heartbeat Opera and Opera Lafayette (http://operalafayette.org/
) join forces to breathe new life into this baroque gem, which speaks truth to power here and now.

Directed by Ethan Heard
Music Direction by Ryan Brown and Jacob Ashworth
Presented at The Kennedy Center in Washington DC and BAM Fisher in Brooklyn, NY
Featuring Lucía Martín Cartón, Sara Couden, Ariana Douglas, Patrick Kilbride, and Paul Max Tipton
