Chamber Opera in Two Acts. She tells the truth, but no one believes her. The Trojan seeress Cassandra is cursed to know the future but unable to persuade anyone to believe her prophecies. This re-envisioning of her story speaks to our era of “fake news,” climate change denial, and the dislocation of immigration.
