Don’t miss this first look at a new opera intercutting the life stories of an eighteenth-century Irish pirate who was sentenced to death and an Indian-born, Irish dentist who died in 2012 after being denied an abortion. Composer Kamala Sankaram and librettist Paul Muldoon will participate in a moderated discussion. Prior to world premiere at the 2025 Kilkenny Arts Festival, excerpts will be performed as the culmination of a workshop that was part of the production’s residency at Potash Hill and sponsored by Works & Process LaunchPAD and Experiments in Opera.
