This new chamber opera by composer Frances White and librettist/photographer Wendy Steiner features soprano Sherezade Panthaki, Lawrence Lipnik on recorders and Beverly Au, Rosamund Morley, and Lisa Terry on viols. The scene is a gallery opening where a young photographer is speaking to her guests about the contradictions she has felt as a woman artist. She invites them to find her image in each of ten enigmatic photos, to "see her seeing” and with her feel a “rosiness” in life she almost lost.
