Silence
By order of England’s King Ethelred, Ymma of Normandy is forced to wed the fourteen-year-old lord, Silence of Cumbria. Their union, initially met with aversion, morphs into one of opportunity as on their wedding night, the two discover that Lord Silence is actually a lady! Just as the bride and groom find common ground, blood follows them from their marital bed and forces the two to flee from the king’s murderous rampage. Silence: The Opera, encapsulates Moira Buffini’s provocative journey of self-discovery into a 90-minute music grandeur.
