Description
Sophia's Forest - Music by Lembit Beecher, Libretto by Hannah Moscovitch
role: Anna (Sophia's mother)
*Canadian Premiere*
Conductor: Gordon Gerrard
Director: Julie McIsaac
When Sophia’s mother dies, Sophia confronts half-forgotten traumas from her childhood. Sophia and her sister Emma grew up in a war torn country. The two young girls cope with and escape their grim circumstances – the adult world of war, death and displacement – through the lens of fairy tales. As the fighting draws nearer, the family is forced to flee their home and make a dangerous journey into a forest. Sophia’s child’s-view version of their flight includes mystical horrors. As Sophia tries to protect her sister Emma from the evil in the forest, she makes a fatal mistake that forever changes the course of their lives.
