Lucidity: When memory fails, music remains

Opera Ithaca is proud to co-present the world premiere of Lucidity, by composer Laura Kaminsky and librettist David Cote. This cutting-edge new opera explores the mind of a woman experiencing dementia and the effects of her cognitive decline on those around her. The opera sweeps the audience with its compellingly human take on music, memory, and finding joy in life. Laura Kaminsky, whose previous opera, As One, made her the most-performed contemporary opera composer in the United States, is a landmark artist who has delivered a piece that is thrillingly befitting of Opera Ithaca’s tenth anniversary season.
