West Coast Premiere of Hindemith's SANCTA SUSANNA to be Presented At Heritage Square Museum

Source/Filter Music Collective will present the West Coast premiere of Paul Hindemith's Sancta Susanna, an immersive, site-specific horror opera production set for October 24th & 25th, 2024 inside Heritage Square Museum's historic Lincoln Avenue Church.

This daring production transforms the church into a secluded convent where an innocent nun, Susanna, grapples with disturbing satanic visions. As she seeks comfort from her mother superior, Susanna uncovers a dark and sinister secret hidden within the convent's walls. Inspired by cult horror films like Dario Argento's Suspiria and Ken Russell's The Devils, this immersive experience promises a chilling night that will challenge the boundaries of opera and horror.

Audiences will also be treated to a haunting choral performance by an "evil nun chorus," featuring atmospheric works by composers such as Benjamin Britten, Nadia Boulanger, and Hildegard von Bingen. The night will end with a Halloween dance party, where a live DJ will spin spooky hits. Costumes are highly encouraged.

Tickets are on sale now at $15-$50. For tickets and more information, visit our.show/sanctasusanna
