Ophelia: Madness (in blue)

Shakespeare's iconic drama, seen through the eyes of its overlooked heroine. In this dream play, we meet Ophelia again - this time on her terms. A modern jazz opera with original English text that challenges and inspires. Maestro Sergei Dreznin has given the protagonist a unique and personal voice that allows for a new interpretation of a largely unexplored character.
