The archetypal character of the femme fatale is a familial figure in the operatic canon. 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. 

Starring : Kathleen Kelly, Jenny Cresswell, Shannon Cochran, Heidi Miller and Christina Hazen
