Two World Premieres for Fort Worth Opera
Date: 5/31/2012 By Jerome Weeks, KERA Art & Seek
The Fort Worth Opera will present two world premieres in its 2014 season, including the adaptation of a famous young-adult novel. KERA’s Jerome Weeks has the story.
The novel is A Wrinkle in Time. Author Madeleine L’Engle’s classic, sci-fi story is about misfit kids who travel across space and time to save their father who disappeared during a top-secret government experiment. The novel won the Newbery Medal for best children’s book in 1963 — and in the 50 years since, it has never gone out of print......
.....With Blood, With Ink is about Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, the 17th century Mexican nun. A child prodigy, she became a scholar, a poet and a defender of women’s rights in the face of the Inquisition. She is esteemed as one of Mexico’s greatest Baroque literary figures. (The opera’s title comes from the fact that Sor Juana was eventually forced to renounce her life’s work, signing the document in blood.)
