DESCRIPTION:Join us in the ’Sco for a screening of the made-for-TV-and-on
 line opera Vireo: The Spiritual Biography of a Witch's Accuser\, followed 
 by a Q&A with composer Lisa Bielawa.\n\nWatch the Vireo trailer.\n\nAward-
 winning composer Lisa Bielawa's groundbreaking opera\, Vireo\, is the winn
 er of the 2015 ASCAP Foundation Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Multimedia Awa
 rd and was nominated for the 2018 Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards.\n\nThe epo
 nymous heroine Vireo\, played by soprano Rowen Sabala\, is a 14-year-old g
 irl genius entangled in the historic obsession with female visionaries\, a
 s witch-hunters\, early psychiatrists\, and modern artists have defined th
 em. Based on Bielawa’s research at Yale\, then freely adapted and re-ima
 gined by librettist Ehn\, Vireo is a composite history of the way in which
  teenage-girl visionaries’ writings and rantings have been manipulated\,
  incorporated and interpreted by the communities of men surrounding them t
 hroughout history.\n\nFrom the European Dark Ages to Salem\, Massachusetts
 \, to 19th century France and contemporary performance art\, Vireo provide
 s a thoughtful\, sometimes-humorous look at the universal issues of gender
  identity\, perception\, and reality.\n\nVireo features the work of over 3

 97\, cellist Joshua Roman\, mezzo-sopranos Laurie Rubin '01\, Maria Lazaro
