Besse: Water, Rye, and Hops - 2022
Music: Daniel Blanco Albert
Words: Roxanne Korda
This trilogy, the first ever opera about beer, tells the story of a medieval brewster living in 1348 AD on the cusp of social change. Besse is in love with beer and the independence it affords her as she follows in the footsteps of the brewsters and goddesses spanning 5000 years before her.
If she does not act fast the power of beer will be taken from her. Against the backdrop of the Black Death and tortured by accusations of witchcraft she navigates through the dangerous world that surrounds her to practice the art of fermentation to its greatest heights.
