Seattle Opera: Lucidity

This intimate chamber opera sheds light on the tragedy of dementia and all those it touches. When Lili, an elderly singer and composer, shows signs of dementia, her son gives up a promising career as a concert pianist in order to care for his mother. But what is the connection between music and memory? Facing the challenge of this all-too-human condition demands the utmost in courage and sacrifice.

Composer Laura Kaminsky (As One), known for addressing social issues in her work, is "one of the top 35 female composers in classical music" (The Washington Post). Joined by playwright, librettist, and arts journalist David Cote, this production marks the West Coast premiere of this powerful and intimate opera.

Runs Nov. 21-24.
