SIX: an Opera Cabaret

The poster shows six different women on a purple background, against the text "SIX: an Opera Cabaret".

To be a woman in opera is to suffer at the hands of men. Across the operatic canon, women have been wronged time and time again – a woman’s death is a feature, and often the dramatic climax, of our most famous stories. If a leading lady isn’t murdered (or driven to her demise) by a man, she usually spends the show being mistreated by one. To lend these women back the agency their stories steal from them, OTYC draws on the idea of SIX: the Musical, putting together a novel night of scenes. Six leading women from six different operas will come together to lament their situations, commiserate with each other, and eventually find strength in one another’s company. They might even plot their revenge… SIX: an Opera Cabaret draws together both beloved and lesser-known works to give opera’s plethora of wronged women the final word.
