Love is a battlefield.
Marie is no ordinary canteen girl. Adopted and raised by a squadron of French soldiers and unaware of her aristocratic lineage, this spunky young woman falls for a handsome villager.

Soloist: FEMMiniste Fatales Presented by GDQarts
The archetypal character of the femme fatale is a familar figure in the operatic cannon. From Violetta, Carmen, Lulu, to Dalilah, these ill-fated women possess seemingly supernatural powers over the men they encounter. But what happens when we approach the femme fatale trope from a woman’s perspective? What would these characters say to us given the chance to tell their own story? Featuring excerpts from Kate Soper’s Here be Sirens, and Kamala Sankaram’s Interstate, this GDQarts concert shines a light into the world of this famed stereotype.
