Lysistrata Reimagined

UofT Opera Student Composer's Collective, University of Toronto Faculty of Music

Lysistera

Overview

Our student composers turn their talents to satire, with an adaptation of Lysistrata, based upon Aristophanes’ anti-war comedy penned in 411 BC. This contemporary reimagining boasts an acerbic modern libretto coupled with gender fluidity.
