Penelope and the Geese, a new chamber opera by Milica Paranosic (composer) and Cheri Magid (librettist), is an of-the-moment retelling of the Odyssey from Penelope’s point of view. The opera is scored for harp, flute and cello and those instruments' ancient twins, Greek lyre and aulos and Serbian gusle. The workshop exploration of the opera, co-produced by ShoutOut Saugerties and The Theoria Foundation at White Feather Farm, will be presented at the Broken Wing Barn, directed by Mo Zhou, designed by Millicent Young, and conducted by Mila Henry.
