Opera after the film by Ingmar Bergman; presented with LA Opera.
Based on Ingmar Bergman’s classic film, Persona is a provocative and artistically complex depiction of human frailty, cruelty and identity. In an isolated summer house, a young nurse becomes caretaker of a stage actress who has suddenly lost the ability to speak. The deepening layers of their unsettling relationship unfold in a taut psychological drama, revealed through a unique aural landscape and a richly layered production.
Composed by Professor Keeril Makan, directed by Professor Jay Scheib, conducted by Professor Evan Ziporyn and video design by Technical Instructor Josh Higgason.
